The World Health Organization says an order by Israel to evacuate more than twenty hospitals in northern Gaza is tantamount to a death sentence for some of the sick and injured. It raised concerns particularly about those on life-support or babies in incubators. Meanwhile, the Israeli military says it is planning an attack by land, air and sea. We will have latest from our correspondent in Jerusalem.
