As the military’s ground invasion, which was widely criticized, resulted in at least 91 Palestinian deaths on Saturday in ongoing Israeli attacks throughout the Gaza Strip, including at least 45 in Gaza City.
Israel was blamed by Gaza’s government media office for slandering the Palestinian people by threatening to evacuate the central and southern governorates while continuing to bomb those same areas.

Since the forced displacement from Gaza City began on August 11, a statement released on Saturday states that 1, 903 people have died in 133 attacks on central and southern Gaza, or 46% of all the reported deaths in the area.
The office called on the international community to intervene, warning that continued global inaction would give rise to further massacres, and that this indicates that civilians are being directly targeted despite being told to move south.
Hani Mahmoud, a journalist from central Gaza, reported on Monday that more casualties have been arriving at al-Shifa Hospital as a result of Israeli attacks in Gaza City.
“Just recently, we received word that a family was evacuating inside a car when it was struck by a drone missile. He claimed that four people had been reported killed directly.
He continued, “Hundreds of others have been moving as Israeli drones and fighter jets chase them away from one location to another.”
hospitals that have been attacked
As the number of Israeli attacks on Gaza City increases, some hospitals have shut down and people are being forced to flee.
After being subjected to heavy bombardment, residents of one of the city’s main hospitals, Jordan Field Hospital, were forced to evacuate all 107 patients and their entire staff.
In Gaza, relentless Israeli strikes have long caused hospitals to close down. The majority of doctors struggle to treat starving patients while the majority are operating in horrifying conditions, unable to provide even basic medical supplies like anaesthesia and antibiotics.
Due to the bombardment in the north, the few hospitals in central Gaza that are still operational have become overcrowded with patients and injured. Many people require urgent medical care that is unavailable.
A displacement-related Palestinian reported to Al Jazeera, “The situation has worsened the situation inside hospitals in the south.” You can now see that medical staff attempted to fit two patients in one bed instead of just one patient.
The only specialized medical facility for children in the Strip, Al-Rantisi Paediatric Hospital, was attacked by Israeli forces on purpose, according to Dr. Khalil Digran, who works at Al-Aqsa Hospital.
Al-Shifa and al-Ahli Hospital, two of which are barely operational, are left standing in Gaza City and the north, according to Digran.
Israeli actions are already putting more pressure on the remaining health facilities in central and southern Gaza and threatening to completely halt their service.
My father has been impacted and has become very sad, according to Palestinian displaced person Mohammad Khoudary, who spoke to Al Jazeera.
He has become dehydrated because of this, and it has had an impact on his health. I’m hoping Al-Aqsa Hospital will be able to transfer him.
Hamas claims that the ceasefire plan has not been examined.
Meanwhile, protests calling for a ceasefire on the global stage took place on Saturday in Liverpool, Germany, and elsewhere.
Hamas has claimed that it has not received the ceasefire plan for Gaza from US President Donald Trump, despite Trump’s repeated optimism about a deal being close this week.
Trump said, “It seems like we have a deal on Gaza,” in a statement to reporters on Friday. He gave no dates or details. Trump’s comments have not yet been addressed in the Israeli media.
The Palestinian organization “has not been presented with a plan,” according to a Hamas official who spoke to Al Jazeera on the condition of anonymity.
Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, whose hard-right wing coalition opposes a ceasefire between the Gaza war and Hamas until it is completely destroyed.
