Israel’s military has delivered more than 4,000 litres of drinking water and 1,500 food rations to the Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip.

This is according to what the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said on Friday on platform X, formerly Twitter.

The post showed a lorry with water bottles and the unloading of a pallet by a forklift truck.

The military’s information could not initially be independently confirmed.

On Wednesday, the IDF said its soldiers had entered the largest hospital in Gaza City.

The operation appeared to be continuing on Friday despite international protests against the military operation in a hospital.

Israel accused the Islamist Hamas group of misusing the hospital as a terror base, a claim that was backed by the United States.
