Heavy Israeli bombardment has rocked Gaza City, with thousands of Palestinians seeking shelter as medical facilities are forced to shut down in the latest offensive in the territory's north. Israel's new ground assault in Gaza's largest city is aimed at battling Hamas militants regrouping in previously cleared areas.
The fighting has intensified, with reports of Israeli warplanes and drones striking moving targets and tanks entering central districts. The situation has made it difficult for first responders to reach affected areas, leading to challenges in providing medical assistance.
