"Israel Raids Leave Gaza's Nasser Hospital Non-Functional, Surgeon Feared Detained: Latest Updates"

The World Health Organization reports that Gaza's Nasser hospital is no longer functional after an Israeli raid, with patients in critical need of medical care. The hospital has been under siege, and the WHO has been denied access to assess the situation. Israel has focused its campaign against Hamas in southern Gaza and may continue to the city of Rafah. Efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have been ongoing, but recent progress has been described as "not very promising." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that his government unanimously opposes the "unilateral recognition" of Palestinian statehood and insists on direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
