It has become increasingly difficult to contact people in Gaza, particularly in the north where Gaza City and al-Shifa hospital are located. On Monday morning, the aid group Doctors Without Borders (MDF) said they had managed to contact one doctor, an MSF surgeon, at al-Shifa by phone. He told them:

I think in this case the poster may have been referring to the verified actions of Hamas to place approximately 1/3 of a pax list for "required medical evacuation" to Egypt were actually Hamas fighters rather than actually 78 patients who really needed to be medically evacuated.
That happened last week and was posted in here. Verified by Israel, Qatar, the US and Egypt thus the medical evacuation was denied for the near 78 pers.

Israel and Hamas, and their supporters, have increasingly been waging their war online and misinformation is circulating widely. The Associated Press news agency has been looking at some of the claims and delving in to the facts behind them – here’s one such example.
CLAIM: A video shows a makeup artist applying dirt and fake blood to a young girl on a stretcher, proving that people in Gaza are faking injuries in the latest Israel-Hamas war.
THE FACTS: The video is behind-the-scenes footage from a short film made in Lebanon, and was not made to mislead people, the director confirmed to the Associated Press.
In recent weeks, social media users have repeatedly misrepresented videos to falsely accuse Palestinians of being “crisis actors” in the war, as part of a conspiracy theory dubbed “Pallywood.”
In the latest example, people are sharing a clip that begins with a child who appears to be wounded being treated on a stretcher as protesters wave Palestinian flags. As the video goes on, however, a makeup artist can be seen applying makeup to the girl to depict blood and wounds, and the child smiles at the camera.
The video was shared on multiple social media platforms including X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming it shows how Palestinians “fake injuries.”
“The Palestinians are fooling the international media and public opinion. DON’T FALL FOR IT,” reads one post on X, which garnered more than 10,000 likes. “Pallywood gets busted again.”
However, the video is actually behind-the-scenes footage of a short film. The director, Mahmoud Ramzi, first uploaded the actual film, “ The Reality,” to his Instagram account on 28 October. The movie is clearly not intended to look like real footage of the conflict.
Ramzi confirmed to the Associated Press that the short film was shot in Lebanon and said it was to show the “pain that Gaza’s people endured.”
“It was not filmed to mislead people or to fabricate any truth, because what’s happening in gaza don’t need any form of fabrication, the videos are all over the media,” Ramzi wrote in an Instagram message.

I already answered this for you earlier today. The original source for this story quotes Doctors Without Borders (DWB) as being the source for Israel shooting at them.
I even quoted you DWB's original tweet that did not say that Israel was doing the shooting at these people.
The source of that story made the assumption that Israel was doing it.
When Palestinians tell the world what is happening to them, why are they met with disbelief?
Yara Hawari[…]
The Israeli war machine is always horrifically ruthless. But this time we are witnessing a level of violence not seen since the 1948 Nakba – during which about 70% of the Palestinian population was forcibly displaced and more than 500 communities were wiped out completely. Indeed, for nearly four weeks the Israeli regime has cut off power and limited access to the internet, reducing contact with the outside and meaning the full scale of its assault has been hidden from the world. Some Palestinians in Gaza are still managing to maintain some communication by charging phones in cars and using power from what solar panels are left. Among them are Palestinian journalists – at least 32 media workers have been killed since Hamas’s offensive on 7 October – who are risking their lives to show us the devastation that is being wrought upon them.
Yet despite the plethora of pictures, videos and testimonies that have come out in the past few weeks, Palestinians once again find themselves in a position where they are denied authority over their own experiences and seen as not credible. This was demonstrated par excellence following the Israeli army expulsion order for 1.1 million people in northern Gaza, when they told the world that they would allow for safe routes for Palestinians to head south. Yet these “safe routes” were ones that they had bombed, in one case hitting a convoy and killing at least 70 Palestinians, including children. Independent investigations confirmed what Palestinians had been saying all along – that there were no “safe routes” out of north Gaza.

When Palestinians tell the world what is happening to them, why are they met with disbelief? | Yara Hawari
The Palestinian viewpoint is credible and vital as Israel continues to unleash carnage on Gaza, says Yara Hawari, a fellow at Al Shabaka, the Palestinian Policy Network
While Palestinian journalists have been phenomenally brave and extensive in their coverage, too much of the international mainstream media has insisted on giving credence to Israeli regime officials: for example, when they provided “proof” of a recording of a conversation between Palestinians claiming responsibility for the al-Ahli Arab hospital bombing. Palestinians immediately argued that it was falsified based on the accents and dialogue. A Channel 4 News investigation cited two independent journalists who determined the recording was not “credible”.
What continues to be astounding is that a regime recognised under international law as the occupying power, and as one that many human rights groups agree is imposing a system of apartheid, is trusted to relay information about its own atrocities. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza are questioned and interrogated at every breath they take. Even their corpses are questioned, as when Joe Biden said he didn’t have “confidence” in the numbers of Palestinians killed. Gaza’s health ministry issued a list with all the names of those killed along with their ID numbers, which are registered with the Israeli authorities.

The Israeli regime continues to dehumanise Palestinians as part of its tactic to sow seeds of doubt on their testimonies and to justify the atrocities it is committing. The Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, said they were fighting “human animals” and the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, called Palestinians “children of darkness” in a now deleted tweet. The Israeli minister for heritage even raised the possibility of dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza. So much coverage is complicit in this dehumanisation of Palestinians, as Mohammed El-Kurd found when appearing on British media. “Our death is so quotidian,” he writes, “that journalists report it as though they’re reporting the weather.” Indeed, we often see the time-old linguistic gymnastics whereby Israelis are killed yet Palestinians simply “die”.
The reality is that Palestinians have been dehumanised to such an extent, that even when they hold up their murdered children in front of cameras and display them to the world, there are those who will still say they are responsible for their own children’s deaths. But make no mistake, what we are seeing in Gaza is an unfolding genocide and Palestinians are showing the world what it looks like in real time.

Al Jazeera is reporting that 13 people have been killed earlier today by an Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis, which is located in the south of the Gaza Strip, and is one of the areas that Palestinians have been ordered to evacuate to by the Israeli military.
