Health officials say Israelis have besieged Al Shifah hospital

The Palestinian Health Ministry’s Director General in Gaza, Dr Munir Al-Borsh, provided an update on the situation in Al Shifah Hospital to Aljazeera.

Here’s what he had to say: 

Around 40 displaced people in the hospital attempted to leave through the main gate. They were shelled by an Israeli tank stationed on the adjacent road. Their bodies are strewn on the street. Ambulance and staff, who are less than 100 meters away, can't get to them as Israeli forces shoot anyone that moves.

 

Israeli forces bombed the water wells in the Shifa Medical Complex overnight. Only one well is operating at the moment providing equivalent of 12 cups a water per hour for 15,000 people trapped inside.

 

The intensive care unit was hit again after being struck 24 hours earlier.
