As a result of the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital, which has been cut off from food and water supplies for eight days, the hospital is facing a dire situation. The hospital, which houses some 10,000 patients, including both sick and displaced civilians, is experiencing severe shortages of basic supplies, resulting in many patients suffering from hunger and misery.
The Israeli attack on the hospital has also led to a breakdown in communications, isolating the hospital from the outside world. Piles of garbage pose an additional threat to those trapped inside the medical building.
The situation at Al-Shifa Hospital underscores the devastating impact of Israel's offensive on Gaza, which has claimed the lives of more than 12,000 Palestinians, including more than 8,300 women and children. The Israeli blockade has also cut off Gaza's fuel, electricity and water supplies, exacerbating the crisis.
