Northern Gaza 'unlivable': Doctors Without Borders
Doctors Without Borders said northern Gaza has become "unlivable" due to bombings and evacuations.
"These forced mass evacuations of homes and bombing of neighborhoods by the Israeli forces are turning the north of Gaza into an unlivable wasteland, effectively emptying out the whole north of the Strip of Palestinian life," the organization said in a statement on Tuesday. "To make matters worse, no humanitarian supplies have been allowed to enter the area since 1 October."
The Israel Defense Forces issued an evacuation order for northern Gaza earlier this week, saying the area is "still considered a dangerous combat zone."
Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, the director of the Kamal Adwan Medical Complex, which is within the evacuation zone, said they have 24 hours to completely evacuate patients and staff.
"This is a dangerous measure that threatens the collapse of the healthcare system in the northern Gaza Strip," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
