Two major hospitals in Gaza have closed to new patients, with staff saying Israeli bombardment and a lack of fuel and medicine mean more babies and others could die. Hospitals in the north of the Palestinian enclave are blockaded by Israeli forces and barely able to care for those inside, medical staff said on Sunday. Israel says it is homing in on Hamas militants in the area and the hospitals should be evacuated.
With the humanitarian situation across Gaza worsening, 80 foreigners and several injured Palestinians crossed into Egypt in the first evacuations since Friday, Egyptian security sources said. At least 80 aid trucks had also moved from Egypt into Gaza by Sunday afternoon, two of the sources said. Very little aid has entered Gaza since Israel declared war on Hamas more than a month ago.
