Evacuation of Shifa Medical Complex

On the 43rd day of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the occupation army forced the Shifa Medical Complex to evacuate most of the wounded, sick, displaced people, and doctors. They were given only one hour to leave, and many had to walk towards the south on foot. This was a tragic scene witnessed by those who left the complex.

Continued Bombing and Massacres

The Israeli bombing continued in various areas of Gaza, resulting in a new "horrific" massacre at Al-Fakhoura School and another at Tal Al-Zaatar in the northern Gaza Strip. These attacks caused the death of hundreds of people, including both martyrs and wounded individuals.
