The Israeli military has not commented, but it earlier warned residents of Khan Younis and the nearby towns of Abasan, Bani Suhaila and al-Jadida to evacuate immediately because it was "working with extreme force to destroy terrorist organisations" there.

Nasser hospital is within one of the city blocks covered by the evacuation orders, and there is increasing concern being expressed by aid groups and medics it may lose its ability to provide essential treatment for those with injuries from shootings near distribution points in Rafah.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that Nasser Hospital is struggling to function.
