Excavators, a few hundred meters away, moved the sand piles while echoing gunfire and artillery.
According to the World Health Organization, 22 out of 36 hospitals of Gaza are no longer operating and the rest of them are partially partially functional.
Israel accuses Hamas of using health facilities for command centers and military purposes and offers very little evidence of civilians.
Hamas security personnel were seen in hospitals and some areas could not be reached.
A soldier showed videos of journalists withdrawn from a drone flying from a 1.5 km tunnel.
In the video, one showed narrow tunnels that led to rooms with wall -covered explosives.

“We are trying to explain how safe to go south every day.” He said.
“And when we approach the areas with a lot of population, we stop and work in other ways to remove them from this area.”
Although there are hundreds of thousands of people, many of them remained, some could not move, some of them are too weak to leave, or once again they do not want to be displaced.
