Gaza's Largest Hospitals Shut Down Amid Escalating Israel-Hamas Conflict

Gaza's two largest hospitals, Al-Shifa and Al-Quds, have suspended operations due to Israeli bombardment and shortages of medicine and fuel, leading to rising deaths among patients and medical staff. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life. The situation at Al-Shifa Hospital is described as dire and perilous, with no electricity, water, or safe passage. Three nurses have been killed, and critical infrastructure has been damaged. Over half of Gaza's hospitals are no longer operational, and the death toll from Israel's campaign to eliminate Hamas stands at least 11,078 Palestinians.
