Israeli forces have escalated their operations in northern Gaza, besieging hospitals and shelters, according to residents and medics. As the military actions against Palestinian militants continue, the Jabalia refugee camp has become a focal point, where troops have ordered evacuations under harsh conditions.

The United Nations has accused Israeli authorities of obstructing humanitarian aid, vital for the survival of those trapped in the conflict zone. Reports from medics describe dire conditions, with troops allegedly storming schools and hospitals, causing significant damage, and leading to severe shortages of medical supplies and food.

Tensions remain high as more casualties are reported, and international calls for a ceasefire escalate. The Israeli military maintains its stance of targeting 'terrorist infrastructure' while facilitating organized evacuations, amid accusations of grave human rights violations in the besieged region.
