Only hospital in northern Gaza closes over Israeli evacuation order
2025-05-30
Once the population is gone, there is no need for a functioning hospital. Especially when that hospital is a barely disguised Hamas strongpoint hiding the entrance to Hamas’s war tunnels.
[GEO.TV] The director-general of the World Health Organization has announced that al-Awda Hospital in northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

There are still 97 people, including 13 patients inside the building, and the UN is planning a mission tomorrow to transfer patients to another facility, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement on X, adding that the hospital's medical equipment cannot be relocated due to impassable roads.

''With al-Awda's closure, there is no remaining functional hospital in North Gaza — severing a critical lifeline for the people there,'' he said.

''WHO pleads for the hospital's protection and staff and patients' safety, and reiterates its call for the active protection of civilians and health care. Hospitals must never be attacked or militarised. Ceasefire!'’

IDF issues evacuation warning for several areas of north Gaza

[IsraelTimes] The IDF issues a new wide evacuation warning for Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip, as part of the military’s expanded offensive against Hamas.

The warning calls for Palestinians residing in Atatra, Jabalia, and the Gaza City neighborhoods of Shejaiya, Daraj, and Zeitoun to head west.

“The IDF will expand its offensive activity in the areas where you are located to destroy the capabilities of the terror organizations,” the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee says on X, adding that the areas marked on the map are “considered dangerous combat zones.”
