Gunzip extract *.gz files to another location

This code was written to extract multiple .tar files to another location and woks fine

ls -1 ${short_filename} \
| while read file; do \
  tar -zxvf "$file" -C ${pentaho_temp_path}/${sessionkey}; \
done

I want to do the same for .gz files on a Linux machine. My files have no whitespace in their names and they look like this:

xport_RAN_Maa_LIM_10.93.217.170_20220629030929.xml.gz
xport_RAN_Maa_LIM_10.93.217.170_20220630030936.xml.gz 
xport_RAN_Mau_MPU_10.188.83.138_20220629031403.xml.gz 
xport_RAN_Mau_MPU_10.188.83.138_20220630031444.xml.gz
