Quick Glance: IDF Orders Evacuation of Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital and Surroundings

  • A spokesman for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) wrote in Arabic on X, formerly Twitter, that everyone in the Rimal neighbourhood of Gaza City as well as everyone inside the al-Shifa Hospital should leave the area immediately to ensure their safety and proceed to the humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi.

  • International observers and world leaders have increasingly been pressuring Israel to let more aid into Gaza, accusing the government of not doing enough, while Israel rejects the accusations.
