The largest hospital complex in Gaza, al-Shifa Hospital, is under siege by Israeli forces. Palestinian health officials report that babies in incubators are struggling to survive as the hospital buildings are targeted and anyone within the compound is at risk of attack. The hospital is also providing shelter for thousands of people who have lost their homes due to the ongoing bombardment. Despite accusations that the hospital is being used as a Hamas command center, the hospital’s director denies the claims, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has stated that targeting a hospital is a war crime. Additionally, Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross have expressed concerns about the safety and protection of the patients and medical staff within the hospital compound. The situation is dire, with people forced to bury bodies by hand to prevent the spread of epidemics. The hospital’s director has pleaded for help, stating that they are completely cut off from the outside world and in desperate need of assistance.
