Israel requests paramedics to prepare to evacuate Gaza City

The Israeli army says it has warned against medical officials and international organizations to prepare for the planned evacuation of Millionaires of Gaza City before an attack on its work.

A statement said that the officials were informed that the “amendments” were made to hospitals in southern Gaza to receive patients.

The Hamas -running Ministry of Health in Gaza rejected “any step that will undermine the remainder of the health system.” UN groups and relief groups have pledged to stay to help those who could not or choose not to move.

Meanwhile, the Palestinians said that there was a large bombing in the eastern areas of the city, a day after the army said it had taken the first steps in the attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet security officials at a later time to agree to the army’s plans, despite the large -scale international and local opposition.

He announced the intention of Israel to overcome the entire Gaza Strip after indirect talks with Hamas in the ceasefire and the hostages last month.

The Israeli military plans to evacuate all residents of Gaza City and transfer them to shelters in the south before the forces move to the largest urban area in the region.

She said as part of her preparations, officers of the military body “invited the initial warning” of medical officials and international organizations on Tuesday.

“The officers assured medical officials to make adjustments to the hospital’s infrastructure in the south of the tape to receive patients and wounded, in addition to increasing the entry of the necessary medical equipment,” a statement said.

It quoted the officers that they were telling them in the calls: “We will provide you with a place to be, whether it is a field hospital or any other hospital.”

However, the Gaza Ministry of Health expressed “its rejection of any step that would undermine the remainder of the health system after the systematic destruction carried out by the (Israeli) authorities.”

“The move would deprive more than a million people of their right to medical treatment and expose the lives of the residents, the patients and the wounded into an imminent danger.”

Eighteen out of 36 hospitals in Gaza are partially working in part, according to the United Nations. Eleven of them are in the Gaza City Governorate and one in the north of Gaza.

United Nations and non -governmental organizations warned earlier this week that the Israeli attack in Gaza City would have a “horrific human impact.”

“We repeat our commitment to serving people wherever they are, and we remain present in Gaza City to provide support to save life,” they said.

They also warned that hospitals in the south “operate several times of their ability, and that controlling patients from the north will have life -threatening consequences.”

Motim Daloul, a journalist in Gaza City, told the BBC that he had seen and heard several Israeli air strikes there on Thursday.

“From time to time, there are combat aircraft carrying out attacks that destroy homes and other facilities, especially on the eastern side of Gaza City, in the Zeitoun and Sabra neighborhood,” he said.

The Hamas Civil Defense Agency said at least 48 people were killed by Israel and fire throughout Gaza on Thursday, including eight in Sprra.

“A large number” of Israeli drones were flying in the sky of the area.

He said that some were sending messages to the population, and asking them to evacuate the “safe areas” in southern Gaza. But he questioned that such areas were safe, saying that people were killed “in all corners” from the south.

“Many people intend not to move from the city,” he said. “They believe that if we are killing, let us be killed in our homes.”

Hundreds of people also joined a gathering in Gaza City to demand an end to the war and rejected Israel’s plan for further displacement.

“We are exhausted. We die a thousand times a day. We don’t want to leave, we want to stay here,” Bisan Ghazal told the BBC. “Stop bloodshed. This is enough.”

Umm Abd al -Rahman al -Hajjaj said that she wants to tell Hamas my negotiator to stop the shooting: “What we demand is an immediate end of the war – because the more it continues, the more martyrs, wounded and prisoners.”

In Tel Aviv, relatives of the Israeli hostages who were still protesting by Hamas have urged their government to accept the proposed ceasefire deal to return some of their loved ones.

“There is a deal on the table. This is the opening that we need to get a comprehensive deal. We must sign it immediately,” said Dalia Kosnir, the wife of Eitan Horn, and issued a former hostage from IAIR Horn.

“Time is running out. The hostages cannot survive much longer in the hands of these brutal kidnappers. We cannot support more fighting.”

The mediators in Qatar and Egypt are trying to secure a deal to avoid the attack and made a new proposal for eighty for 60 days and at all from about half of the 50 hostages, Hamas said it accepted on Monday.

Israel has not yet provided an official response, but Israeli officials said they would not accept a partial deal and asked a comprehensive that would see all the hostages being issued. Only 20 of them are believed to be alive.

UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres said it was “vital” to reach an immediate ceasefire and avoid what he called “the inevitable destruction and destruction” caused by a new operation in Gaza City.

On Wednesday, an Israeli military spokesman said that “the initial measures” of the Gaza City attack had begun and that the forces were already “beating.”

Netanyahu’s office said it was “ordered to reduce time tables – to control the last terrorist strongholds and defeat Hamas -“

Hamas accused the Israeli leader of continuing a “brutal war against innocent civilians in Gaza City” and criticized what he said “ignored” for a ceasefire.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas -led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others took hostage.

At least 62,192 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Ministry of Health in the region. The ministry’s figures were transferred by the United Nations and others as a more reliable source of statistics available to the victims.
