UN shelters were hit by airstrikes, according to an official, while Israel declared the complete encirclement of Gaza city.
The Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza was bombed by Israel for the second time in two days on Wednesday, resulting in warnings of war crimes and diplomatic measures from various nations. The Al Quds hospital in Gaza City was also hit by Israeli airstrikes, where up to 14,000 displaced people are currently seeking shelter. The strikes continued into Thursday morning and were reportedly getting closer to the hospital, according to Dr Bashar Mourad, the hospital's director. As a result, more civilians are expected to leave Gaza on Thursday, following the first sanctioned exodus in weeks, which saw injured Palestinians and hundreds of foreign nationals crossing from Gaza into Egypt via the Rafah border crossing.
