AI Summary:
At least 70 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks since the early hours of Thursday. The Gaza Health Ministry called Israel’s push a “continuation of the violations and crimes” against the medical sector in the territory. Shutting down the hospital came amid continued Israeli forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza. “Due to impassable roads, the hospital’s medical equipment cannot be relocated,” WHO said in a statement. “With Al-Awda’s closure, there is no remaining functional hospital in North Gaza — severing a critical lifeline for the people there” Israel has been besieging and bombing hospitals across Gaza, killing more than 1,400 medical workers. Multiple explosions were heard and Israeli gunfire was reported near a distribution centre in central Gaza earlier on Friday. Palestinians who walked to the newly opened aid site at the Netzarim Corridor were unable to leave due to Israeli military activity in the area. Israel has been pushing to bypass and sideline the United Nations from the aid distribution process. Israeli strike on residential building left approximately 30 people missing under rubble. “Due to the lack of heavy equipment, it is not possible to recover the missing individuals from under the rubble,” the Civil Defence said. Washington said that Israel has accepted a temporary ceasefire proposal put forward by US envoy Steve Witkoff.
