Doctors have warned of an imminent disaster at Gaza’s largest functioning hospital because of critical shortage of fuel and a widening Israeli ground offensive in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Nasser Medical Complex was forced to stop admitting patients on Thursday, when witnesses said Israeli troops and tanks advanced into a cemetery 200m (660ft) away and fired towards nearby camps for displaced families.
The forces reportedly withdrew on Friday after digging up several areas.
Medical staff and dozens of patients in intensive care remain inside the hospital, where the fuel shortage threatens to shut down life-saving services.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. However, it said on Friday morning that an armoured brigade was operating in Khan Younis to dismantle "terrorist infrastructure sites" and confiscate weapons.
It has previously issued evacuation orders for the areas around the hospital.
The UN Human rights office has also said almost 800 people have been killed while trying to receive food aid in Gaza, since late May.
