TL;DR Summary

A U.N. team, led by the World Health Organization, gained access to Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital and witnessed the dire conditions, including piles of waste and a mass grave. The hospital has experienced power outages and a shortage of health workers, resulting in patient deaths. The team is working to safely evacuate the remaining patients to other hospitals in the south of Gaza. The Israeli military has ordered Palestinians to evacuate further south, but evidence shows that these areas are still being targeted by airstrikes and artillery fire. The IDF claims that Hamas used tunnels under the hospital as a command center, but Hamas denies this. Negotiations for a cease-fire and the release of hostages are ongoing, but no deal has been reached yet.
