Israeli air strikes and artillery shelling are continuing in north Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports.

Starting with Beit Lahiya, the Indonesian Hospital received a critically wounded child and her father after their house was targeted in the area. Israeli forces also targeted another house in Jabalia, as well as in Gaza City’s al-Darraj neighbourhood, she reported.

In Shujayea, Israeli forces’ ground incursion is continuing into its fourth day, which Khoudary said was still intensifying.

“Palestinians there say they are trapped, surrounded by artillery shelling and air strikes. They do not have food. Some people are wounded and ambulances have not been able to reach that area. It’s also very hard for journalists to go there,” the report highlighted.
