VARIOUS OF AMBULANCES LEAVING SCRIPT The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday, Dec. 27, transferred 27 patients and injured individuals from Dar El Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza to the southern city of Khan Younis for treatment in hospitals outside of Palestine. Israel has continued a large-scale ground offensive in northern Gaza since Oct. 5 to allegedly prevent the Palestinian resistance group Hamas from regrouping. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents. Since then, no sufficient humanitarian aid including food, medicine and fuel has been allowed into the area, leaving the remaining population on the verge of imminent famine. The onslaught was the latest episode in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip that has killed over 45,400 people, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023. Last month, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
