class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">There was no immediate response from the Israeli military, but it has said its troops have killed \u201chundreds of terrorists\u201d and evacuated 45,000 civilians in Jabalia since going back into the area on 6 October.<!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\" class=\"sc-18fde0d6-0 dlWCEZ\">\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">It comes as the head

class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the WHO had lost contact with Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia, which was overflowing with almost 200 patients amid the offensive in nearby Jabalia.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Gaza\u2019s Hamas-run health ministry said Israeli troops had detained patients, staff and displaced people, while Israel&#8217;s

We are facing what could amount to atrocity crimes, including potentially extending to crimes against humanity.\u201d<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He also said it was totally unacceptable that Palestinian armed groups were reportedly operating among civilians, including inside shelters for the displaced, and putting them in harm\u2019s way.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">T\u00fcrk said countries around the world &#8211; all of them parties to the Geneva conventions &#8211; had to act now to uphold them.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">\u201cThese are universally accepted and binding norms developed to preserve the very bare minimum of humanity.
