The Palestinian Red Crescent Society says its medics are receiving dozens of urgent pleas to evacuate casualties but are unable to respond because of the Israeli ground invasion of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.

“Soldiers are firing at anyone who moves in the Be’er al-Na’ja area, west of Jabalia in northern Gaza,” the rescue organisation said in a post on X, including video of one of its crew members responding to a call.

A large-scale Israeli operation in northern Gaza has killed and wounded dozens of people and threatens to shut down three hospitals. An air strike killed at least nine people, including two women and two children in Jabalia.
