| [IsraelTimes] Two medical organizations announced that they were withdrawing from a central Gaza hospital due to IDF operations in the area, CNN reports. CNN cited a statement by the the International Rescue Committee and UK-based charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) that says the organizations are withdrawing their emergency medical teams from Al Aqsa Hospital in the city of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza after the IDF dropped flyers in the area telling Palestinian civilians to evacuate. MAP and the IRC said they are “deeply appalled that our EMT has been effectively forced to stop working at a hospital where they have been saving lives.” They said the IDF “dropped leaflets designating areas surrounding the hospital as a ‘red zone.'” WHO says medical supply delivery to northern Gaza canceled due to unsafe conditions [IsraelTimes] The World Health Organization (WHO) says it had been compelled to cancel a mission to bring medical supplies to northern Gaza yesterday after failing to receive security guarantees. Medical supplies? Or armaments? And how many evacuees will be Hamasniks? It was the fourth time WHO had had to call off a planned mission to bring urgently needed medical supplies to Al-Awda Hospital and the central drug store in northern Gaza since Dec. 26, it says. “It has now been 12 days since we were last able to reach northern Gaza,” the WHO writes on the X social media platform. “Heavy bombardment, movement restrictions, and interrupted communications are making it nearly impossible to deliver medical supplies regularly and safely across Gaza, particularly in the north,” it says. The delivery planned for yesterday, WHO says, had been designed to sustain the operations of five hospitals in the northern part of the enclave.
