Crisis in Gaza: Al-Shifa Hospital Struggles as Casualties Mount

Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa, has resorted to burying over 100 bodies in a mass grave due to the ongoing Israeli bombardment, with bodies decomposing in the courtyard and babies dying in incubators without power. Hospitals in Gaza are facing unimaginable conditions, lacking electricity and fuel for generators, rendering them non-functional. The United Nations reports that all but one of the hospitals in Gaza are no longer operational. The death toll in Gaza has risen to over 11,200, while hospitals struggle to provide care for the injured and displaced Palestinians. Israel claims it has targeted hospitals due to alleged Hamas military operations underneath them, a claim Hamas denies.
