Israel's blockade on aid and intensified assault on Rafah have forced a UN agency to halt food distribution

Israeli forces attacked two hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip as they pushed deeper into the Jabalia refugee camp and increased bombardment of crowded Rafah districts.

Artillery shelling hit al-Awda Hospital, north of Jabalia, which has been under Israeli siege since the weekend.

Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia was also shelled, forcing bed-ridden patients and medical staff to evacuate.

On Monday, the medical team at al-Awda said that snipers were “aiming at the building and an artillery rocket hitting the fifth floor, where the administration department is located,” according to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

An air strike in the crowded Yabna refugee camp in Rafah killed three children on Tuesday, Al Jazeera Arabic said.

    Can’t count the bodies coming into a hospital if you bomb it, capture the doctors and patients then drop them in a mass grave with their hands still tied up and cover the hole up with one of your armored bulldozers.

    This is why it will take years to uncover the true death toll. Monsters realized if you don’t bring them in on trains, line up their shoes, take out their fillings, and tattoo a number on their arm then you can’t get the truth of the barbarism until after.

      If Israel is not defeated we will never uncover the true death toll. We’ll only be able to make estimates and inferences.
