Thousands break into aid warehouses in Gaza to take flour, hygiene products, a U.N. agency says. Gaza death toll hits 8,000 as Israel widens ground war.
Thousands of people broke into aid warehouses in Gaza to take flour and basic hygiene products, a U.N. agency said Sunday, in a mark of growing desperation three weeks into the war between Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers. Tanks and infantry pushed into Gaza over the weekend as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a “second stage” in the war, which was ignited by Hamas' Oct. 7 incursion into Israel. Israel also pounded the territory from air, land and sea.
Israel ordered the hospital to evacuate more than a week ago, but it and other medical facilities have refused, saying evacuation would mean death for patients on ventilators. “We reiterate — it’s impossible to evacuate hospitals full of patients without endangering their lives,” World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media. There was no immediate Israeli comment on the latest evacuation order or the strikes near Shifa.
