STORYLINE:

STANDUP 1 (English): OHOOD AL-JAGHOUB, Xinhua reporter in Ramallah
"Rafah Crossing opened today (Sunday) to evacuate foreign nationals and transfer critically wounded Palestinians to Egyptian hospitals, after all evacuations from the crossing were suspended last Friday due to difficulties transferring wounded patients from northern Gaza.
Al Shifa Hospital is still under an ongoing attack by Israeli tanks and warplanes. The administration of the hospital announced that the hospital is unable to deliver any medical services even to the patients inside, and the World Health Organization said they lost contact with the hospital staff."

STANDUP 2 (English): WANG ZHUOLUN, Xinhua correspondent in Jerusalem
"As fighting between Israel and Hamas continued to rage in northern Gaza, including the enclave's largest hospital, the Israel Defense Forces denied Palestinian claims that the hospital was under siege while asserting its troops were continuing to make achievements against Hamas on the ground. On Sunday, the Lebanese Hezbollah group claimed responsibility for an anti-tank guided missile attack on the Lebanese border. Some Israelis of an electric company were hit while repairing power lines. In response, the Israeli army said its fighter jets had struck a number of Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon."

STANDUP 3 (English): YAO BING, Xinhua correspondent in Cairo
"The United Nations Development Programme has reported that its headquarters in Gaza was subjected to Israeli airstrikes on Saturday night, which led to casualties among Palestinian refugees taking shelter there.
In a statement published late Saturday on its website, the UN agency expressed deep concern over deaths and injuries among those who were seeking refuge in its premises."
