 * Summary

 * Families flee after new evacuation orders for Deir Al-Balah
 * MSF considers suspending wound care at Al-Aqsa Hospital
 * Diplomatic efforts by Qatar, Egypt, and U.S. fail to end conflict
 * Seven killed in Israeli strikes on Monday, medics say

CAIRO/GAZA Aug 26 (Reuters) - Israel issued new evacuation orders for Deir
Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip late on Sunday, forcing more families to
flee, saying its forces intended to act against militant group Hamas and others
operating in the area.
In recent days, Israel has issued several evacuation orders across Gaza, the
most since the beginning of the 10-month war, prompting an outcry from
Palestinians, the United Nations and relief officials over the reduction of
humanitarian zones and the absence of safe areas.

The Deir Al-Balah municipality says Israeli evacuation orders have so far
displaced 250,000 people.
In a statement posted on X, the Israeli military urged residents in certain
zones to move immediately to the west, as the area they are in is "considered a
dangerous combat zone".
Israeli military strikes killed at least seven Palestinians on Monday, medics
said. Two were killed in Deir Al-Balah, where around a million people were
sheltering, two at a school in the Al-Nuseirat camp and three in the southern
city of Rafah, near the border with Egypt.

Seven others were killed in two separate Israeli strikes, five in a car in Khan
Younis and two people at a school in Gaza City, medics said.
Later on Monday, an Israeli strike on a tent on the coast in Gaza City killed
six Palestinians and wounded several other people, medics told Reuters.
The new orders forced many families and patients to leave Al-Aqsa Hospital, the
main medical facility in Deir Al-Balah, where hundreds of thousands of residents
and displaced people had taken shelter, for fear of bombardments.

The hospital is close to the area covered by the evacuation notice.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said in a statement on X on Sunday night that an
explosion approximately 250 meters (820 feet) away from the MSF-supported
Al-Aqsa Hospital triggered panic.
"As a result, MSF is considering whether to suspend wound care for the time
being, while trying to maintain life-saving treatment."
From around 650 patients, only 100 remain in the hospital, with seven in the
intensive care unit, it said, citing Gaza's health ministry.

"This situation is unacceptable. Al Aqsa has been operating well beyond capacity
for weeks due to the lack of alternatives for patients. All warring parties must
respect the hospital, as well as patients' access to medical care," it added.

The Israeli military said it killed dozens of Palestinian gunmen in the area of
Khan Younis and the outskirts of Deir Al-Balah in the past 24 hours and located
large quantities of weapons.
The armed wings of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad said fighters clashed with
Israeli forces with anti-tank rockets, mortar bombs, and sniper fire in several
areas across Gaza.
Gaza's Ministry of Health called for the 100 patients inside the hospital, and
the medical teams who had remained to care for them, to be protected.
In a separate statement, it said Israeli military strikes have killed at least
30 Palestinians and wounded 66 others across the enclave in the past 24 hours.


DIPLOMATIC IMPASSE

Sawsan Abu Afesh said she and her children had now been displaced 11 times.
"I left half of my children behind me near my furniture and I am now with my
little ones and my daughter, only God can help us...I have no money for
transportation. I will go to area 17 where my family is staying on my foot. I
took my kids and three are left behind. No idea where," the woman said.
The escalation comes with little hope of an end in sight to the war as diplomacy
by mediators, Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S. has so far failed to close the gap
between Israel and Hamas, whose leaders traded blame over the lack of an accord.
Neither Hamas, nor Israel, agreed to several compromises presented by mediators
at talks in Cairo on Sunday, two Egyptian security sources said.
A senior U.S. official, however, described the talks as "constructive," saying
they were conducted in a spirit on all sides to reach "a final and implementable
agreement."
Hamas official Osama Hamdan said the group rejected new conditions made by
Israel during the talks, which the group didn't attend, and added that U.S.
comments over an imminent ceasefire deal were false and aimed to serve election
purposes.
U.S. President Joe Biden and his administration have faced growing protests in
the U.S. over aid for Israel ahead of November elections.
More than 40,400 Palestinians have been killed in the war, according to Gaza's
health ministry. The crowded enclave has been laid to waste and most of its 2.3
million people have been displaced multiple times and face acute shortages of
food and medicine, humanitarian agencies say.
The war was triggered by Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which killed 1,200
people, by Israeli tallies, with more than 250 taken hostage.
