Watch live as experts and relatives give an update on hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza on Monday, 13 November.
A Palestinian official briefed on talks told Reuters that Hamas on Sunday said it is suspending hostage negotiations because of Israel’s handling of the Al Shifa Hospital.
It comes as the World Health Organization (WHO) said Gaza’s main hospital “is not functioning as a hospital anymore”.
Hospitals, including the Al-Shifa complex, have been blockaded by Israeli forces and staff are barely able to care for patients inside.
WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Shifa has not had water for three days and “is not functioning as a hospital anymore,” in a post on social media.
“Premature and new-born babies on life support are reportedly dying due to power, oxygen, and water cuts at Al-Shifa Hospital, while others are at risk. Staff across a number of hospitals are reporting lack of fuel, water and basic medical supplies, putting the lives of all patients at immediate risk,” the WHO said in a statement.
The conflict has now entered its second month following Hamas’ attack on Israel on 7 October.
