Health officials in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip say all hospitals in the north of the Palestinian enclave are now out of service as Israel presses its offensive against the Islamist militant group. FRANCE 24 spoke to the head of Al Shifa hospital about the desperate situation at Gaza’s largest medical facility, which has become a focal point of the five-week-old war.
Israeli tanks were massed near the gates of Gaza City’s Al Shifa Hospital on Tuesday, a day after health officials in the besieged enclave said northern Gaza’s last medical facilities had gone “out of service” due to power shortages and the continued fighting.
