“On the other side of the Gaza Strip, we can see that there has been pretty much a concentration on targeting makeshift tents and residential homes in the city of Khan Younis,” Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza Strip.

“Israel is systematically looking to isolate significant parts and tracts of land in Gaza in order to expand the so-called ‘buffer zone’.

“But there is more, growing — not just military pressure, but also medical isolation,” he said.

Gaza’s healthcare system has been left struggling to survive and provide the minimal level of medical services for the surging numbers of casualties arriving to the hospitals, and for also ensuring the stability of the medical service due to the chronic shortages of all essential medical supplies as the Israeli blockade continues, he added.
