Late night update

Hello MEE readers, 

Israel renewed air strikes and artillery shelling on the al-Qasaib neighbourhood of Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp. The bombing continues after Israeli army ground forces reentered the area earlier this week.

Doctors Without Borders reported that at least 34 people have been admitted to al-Awda hospital following the strikes.

The hospital - one of the last functioning in the Gaza Strip - is without drinking water, the group said. 

"Staff and patients are sheltering inside amid the fighting," the group said, noting that the hospital is surrounded by Israeli forces.
