As Israel pushes forward with its military plan to occupy Gaza City, the enclave has been left without a single fully functioning hospital. The city’s largest medical facility, al-Shifa, is struggling to operate amid medicine and equipment shortages, a malnutrition crisis and continuing bombardments – a situation the United Nations has described as "medicide".
In Gaza City, where al-Shifa is located, none of the public hospitals are fully operational. While some are still offering limited services, they are overwhelmed.
