"ما زال التهجير القسري لسكان شمال غزة مستمرًا، وما زال العالم صامتًا أمام تلك الجريمة التي تخالف كل المواثيق والأعراف والقوانين الدولية.
Forced displacement of the residents of northern Gaza continues, while the world remains silent in the face of this crime that violates all conventions, norms, and international laws."

Day 45 of Israel's third ground invasion of the North Gaza governorate.
Healthcare situation
The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital shared important clarifications about the situation:
- The hospital remains under complete siege by the Israeli occupation, and the claims in the media about allowing the entry of medical aid are inaccurate.
- We have waited over four weeks for the entry of aid from the World Health Organization, including food, medicine, and specialized medical teams, but the occupation forces confiscated the food from ambulances and forced the medical delegation to turn back.
- The occupation allowed only 7 out of 40 cartons of medical supplies to enter.
- We lose many injured patients daily, who turn into martyrs due to the absence of surgical specializations.
- A significant number of children suffer from malnutrition, including four in critical condition, and we have also started recording cases of malnutrition among adults.
- We continue to provide medical services at the minimum level possible. Unfortunately, pediatricians are performing surgeries solely to save lives.
- We receive daily distress calls that we cannot respond to.
- There is not a single ambulance or civil defense team operating in northern Gaza.
- Yesterday, we received a distress call from women and children trapped under the rubble. Unable to help them, they became martyrs today.
- Northern Gaza remains under a suffocating siege, with the occupation barring water, food, and medicine, and refusing to allow surgeons to enter after arresting the surgical staff
