In Jabalya, “hundreds” of people were killed or wounded in attacks on two schools Saturday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which attributed the strikes to Israel. Across northern Gaza, hospitals have collapsed, leaving doctors and medical staff unable to conduct their own tallies of the dead. Hundreds of Palestinians, including wounded patients, medical staff and civilians, streamed out of the hospital and into the heart of Gaza City on foot. AdvertisementThe evacuees, meanwhile, headed for southern Gaza, which Israel declared “safe” but which is also being subjected to airstrikes. To ease the crisis in Gaza, Hamas should release the more than 200 hostages it seized on Oct. 7 in exchange for aid, President Biden’s top adviser on the Middle East said Saturday.
