Israeli special forces conducted a raid on Gaza's besieged Nasser medical complex, alleging Hamas fighters' presence and possible hostages. Hospital director Nahed Abu-Teima described the situation as "catastrophic and very dangerous," with patients piled up in wards amidst violent shelling. Abu-Teima appealed to the UN and Red Cross to "save" patients and staff. Videos show medical staff evacuating patients amid smoke and dust. IDF claims credible intelligence regarding hostages, prompting the operation. Hamas denies the allegations. This comes after the IDF ordered displaced persons to vacate the site. International calls for restraint intensify, with leaders urging cessation of operations. The escalating violence underscores the urgent need for humanitarian intervention.
