Three Family Killed In Shuja'eyya

    The Ministry of Health said the army fired missiles into the Al-Aqsa
    Hospital, in Central Gaza, killing four Palestinians, and injuring
    40 others. Ambulances also came under direct Israeli fire while
    trying to move patients to Shifa medical center.

Initial reports indicate the slain Palestinians are one patient and 
three relatives of patients hospitalized there.

The shelling destroyed the oxygen production unit, the delivery ward, 
urgent care units, and the surgery wards that became nonfunctional due 
to the Israeli bombardment targeting the hospital.

Doctors at the hospital said the attack caused various injuries, 
including injuries to Palestinians injured in numerous strikes targeting 
Gaza.

It stated two ambulances came under Israeli fire while trying to move 
wounded Palestinians from the Al-Aqsa Hospital to the Shifa Medical 
Center, in Gaza.

The army is demanding the administration to evict the hospital, and move 
the patients "to other hospitals", the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera said.

In related news, the army renewed its extensive bombardment in the 
Shuja'eyya neighborhood in Gaza, Sheikh Radwan area, in addition to 
bombarding different parts of the coastal region.

In related news, three family members have been killed, and several 
others injured when the army fired a missile at a home in the Shuja'eyya 
neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

The three have been identified as Yousef Ghazi Hamdiyya, 25, Mo'taz 
Jamal Hamdiyya, 18, and 'Aaed Jamal Hamdiyya, 21.

The army fired at least 100 shells into the Shuja'eyya and Zeitoun 
residential areas, directly targeting home and residential buildings, 
especially in the densely populated Shuja'eyya neighborhood.

Initial reports indicate various casualties among the residents; yet, 
rescue teams are still unable to enter the area as the army is 
surrounding it, and targeting every car that moves, including ambulances.

At least 75 Palestinians have been killed in the Shuja'eyya neighborhood 
on Sunday and Monday.
The Ministry of Health called on the International Red Cross, the World 
Health Organization, and the United Nations, to act on ending the 
ongoing Israeli military aggression, and the deliberate targeting of 
hospital and medical centers in the coastal region.
