A woman living near the Al-Shifa hospital in northern Gaza has posted a series of videos describing the current situation as dire as Israeli forces continue operations at the medical complex.
Standing inside her family home, the woman expressed the catastrophic conditions, stating that the situation is dire with ongoing shelling and shooting in the area. She mentioned witnessing bullets penetrating nearby buildings, highlighting the intensity of the conflict.
Geolocation of the woman's home places it immediately to the north-west of Al-Shifa hospital, where Israeli forces are engaged in an operation against Hamas fighters.
Amidst the chaos, the woman shared that her family members were injured when their apartment was struck. She posted a video showing a man with a shrapnel injury, identified as her brother, emphasizing the toll the violence has taken on her loved ones.
In a plea for help, the woman mentioned being under siege for four days without access to essential supplies like water and food. She revealed that despite reaching out to the Red Cross for assistance, the army allegedly refused to coordinate with the humanitarian organization for their evacuation.
The situation remains tense as explosions continue to rock the area, leaving residents like the woman feeling helpless and fearful for their safety.
Efforts to seek clarification from the Israel Defense Forces regarding the alleged refusal to allow the Red Cross to organize evacuations have been made, but no official response has been provided at this time.
