Israel has said it recovered the body of a hostage near the al-Shifa hospital complex. Meanwhile, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said it could suspend operations in Gaza due to lack of fuel.
The US State Department has expressed Washington's concern over a strike on a Jordanian field hospital in Gaza.
The strike took place on Wednesday in Gaza City. Jordanian official news agency Petra said seven health workers were hurt.
"We are deeply concerned that they were injured," State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said.
He did not condemn the strike or assign responsibility for it.
The spokesperson praised Jordan's "incredible work in establishing the field hospital."
"As we said before, we don't want to see hospitals struck from the air," Miller said. "We reiterate the obligations under international humanitarian law for all parties to take key precautions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and all possible steps to mitigate civilian harm."
Meanwhile, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan called Jordan a critical US ally and said its "essential role in the conflict must be protected."
"We are deeply concerned that Jordanian medical personnel in Gaza were wounded in an attack near their field hospital, and we are profoundly grateful to medical professionals providing critical care to Palestinians in Gaza," he said in a post on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
