Palestinians have started cleaning and renovating the European Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, as part of efforts to prepare for a major evacuation from Gaza City. The hospital had previously been closed after the military discovered and sealed a tunnel beneath it. International aid organizations, along with the United Nations, are working on plans to reopen the hospital to help accommodate the expected influx of displaced people from the north. Recent footage shows medical staff and heavy machinery working to restore the facility, following military approval for access. The hospital's reopening comes after a series of military operations in the area, including the sealing of the tunnel and the killing of senior Hamas figures.
