Palestinians trapped inside Gaza’s largest hospital have been forced into digging a mass grave to bury corpses, according to health officials in the Hamas-run territory, as intense fighting rages outside.
Up to 700 patients are said to be trapped inside al-Shifa according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). as well as more than 400 health staff. There are many other people who are sheltering in the wider hospital complex and courtyards. The lives of dozens of babies are also said to be hanging in the balance as fuel has run out, leaving incubators unusable.
