Video. Israeli strikes force mass displacement as Gaza death toll rises

Updated:

Israel pressed ahead with its military offensive, with strikes hitting a hospital and forcing thousands more to flee.

Palestinian officials said Israeli tanks and drones targeted Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, causing fires and major damage.

The attack comes as aid deliveries remain limited following the recent easing of a nearly three-month blockade. UN agencies say Israeli restrictions and lawlessness inside Gaza continue to hinder the distribution of supplies.

Thousands of families are fleeing fresh fighting, with the UN reporting 358 deaths in attacks on homes and displacement shelters, including at least 148 women and children.
