The Gaza Civil Defense has urgently appealed to international agencies, including the Red Cross and the United Nations, to intervene and rescue Palestinians who are trapped in and around Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza. The situation has become increasingly dire as Israel's raid around the complex has entered its twelfth day.
Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal emphasized the critical need for immediate assistance, stating, 'We need the international agencies, the Red Cross and the UN to intervene to rescue the people present around the Shifa complex. Every minute that passes by, we could lose a life there.'
