******** army orders Gaza City suburb evacuated, 10 ******* by IDF strikes – National

The ******** military issued new evacuation orders to residents in areas of an eastern Gaza City suburb, setting off a new wave of displacement on Sunday, and a Gaza hospital director was injured in an ******** drone *******, ************ medics said.

The new orders for the Shejaia suburb posted by the ******** army spokesperson on X on Saturday night blamed ************ militants ******* rockets from that heavily built-up district in the north of the Gaza Strip.

“For your safety, you must evacuate immediately to the south,” the military’s post said.

The rocket volley on Saturday was claimed by ******’ armed wing, which said it had targeted an ******** army base over the border.

Footage circulated on social and ************ media, which Reuters could not immediately verify, showed residents leaving Shejaia on donkey carts and rickshaws, with others, including children carrying backpacks, walking.

In central Gaza, health officials said at least 10 Palestinians were ******* in ******** airstrikes on the urban camps of Al-Maghazi and Al-Bureij since Saturday night.

Adding to the miseries of Gaza’s 2.3 million people, most of whom have been repeatedly displaced, heavy winter rain flooded hundreds of tents across the enclave, spoiling food and sweeping away plastic and cloth sheeting that had protected them against the elements.

“We ran in the middle of the night, the rainwater flooded the tent, the food is gone, the kids screamed and I am afraid they will get *****,” Rami, 37, a Gaza City man displaced at a former soccer stadium, told Reuters via a messaging app.

The ************ Civil Emergency Service said thousands of displaced people were impacted by the seasonal flooding and demanded new tents and caravans from aid donors to shield them.

In north Gaza, where ******** forces have been operating against regrouping ****** militants since early last month, health officials said an ******** drone dropped ****** on Kamal Adwan Hospital, injuring its director Hussam Abu Safiya.

“This will not stop us from completing our humanitarian mission and we will continue to do this job at any cost,” Abu Safiya said in a video statement circulated by the health ministry on Sunday.

“We are being targeted daily. They targeted me a while ago but this will not deter us…,” he said from his hospital bed.

Kamal Adwan is one of three hospitals in north Gaza that are barely operational as the health ministry said the ******** forces have detained and expelled medical staff and prevented emergency medical, food and fuel supplies from reaching them.

In the past few weeks, ******* said it had facilitated the delivery of medical and fuel supplies and the transfer of patients from north Gaza hospitals in collaboration with international agencies such as the World Health Organization.

Residents in three embattled north Gaza towns – Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun – said ******** forces had blown up hundreds of houses since renewing operations in an area that ******* said months ago had been cleared of militants.

Palestinians say ******* appears determined to depopulate the area permanently to create a buffer zone along the northern edge of Gaza, an accusation ******* denies.

*******’s campaign in Gaza has ******* more than 44,000 people, uprooted nearly the entire population at least once, according to Gaza officials, while reducing wide swathes of the narrow coastal territory to rubble.

The war erupted in response to a cross-border ******* by ******-led militants on Oct. 7, 2023 in which gunmen ******* around 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages back to Gaza, according to ******** tallies.
