Casualties in Israeli attack on Kuwaiti roundabout in Gaza City

Israel has again attacked the roundabout in the south of Gaza City, a major distribution point for the little humanitarian aid that reaches the starving Palestinians there, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting.

Our correspondents say that the attack was on members of a tribal committee that organises aid distribution at the roundabout. Earlier this month, Israel carried out an attack on the same committee, killing at least 20.

Video verified by Al Jazeera from a Palestinian journalist shows the casualties caused by this attack, the exact number of which is unclear at this time.

What is happening at al-Amal Hospital under Israeli siege?

The Israeli military is carrying on with an intense operation against al-Amal Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis in Gaza. These are the latest updates from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS). The video below shows how the aid organisation’s teams receive direct updates from the besieged hospital.

  • All displaced Palestinians and patients who could move independently were evacuated towards the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis after the Israeli military directly hit the hospital and issued an evacuation order.
  • Hospital staff remain, along with nine patients and their 10 companions, and a displaced family with children who have disabilities. All need to be evacuated safely.
  • PRCS staff member Amir Abu Aisha and a wounded individual who was being treated at the hospital after being shot in the head by the Israeli military were both killed, and their bodies need to be removed.
  • Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles have completely surrounded all entrances to the hospital, and control any movement in and out.

PRCS says communication with al-Amal hospital cut off

The Palestine Red Crescent says on X that due to a service interruption to VHF radio, it is unable to contact its staff at the hospital in Khan Younis, currently under Israeli army siege.
