The situation inside the hospital is still quite difficult with the arrival of mass casualties due to the ongoing attacks on residential homes in northern Gaza and Gaza City, Al Jazeera reports.

Elsewhere across the Gaza Strip, multiple air strikes targeted more residential homes, public facilities, as well as temporary shelters for people seeking protection and safety from the unpredictable falling bombs.

It also involved the destruction, where the Israeli military blew up the only specialised hospital for cancer patients, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital near the Netzarim Corridor in what seems to be an attempt by the Israeli military to expand the corridor and create more buffer zone.

It went from 500 metres (1,640ft) wide at the beginning of the conflict to eight kilometres (five miles) now, and it continues to expand.

In doing so, the Israeli military destroyed more residential buildings, and more of the agricultural lands in the area are being bulldozed.
