Israeli Forces Close In on Gaza's Main Hospital, Trapping Hundreds

Israeli forces have reached the gates of Gaza's largest hospital, al-Shifa, where hundreds of patients, including premature babies, are trapped. The remaining patients are dying due to energy shortages, as vital equipment like incubators cannot function without fuel for generators. At least 32 patients have died in the past three days. The Israeli military claims to provide safe corridors for people to escape, but Palestinian officials inside the hospital report constant heavy gunfire. The World Health Organization has stated that al-Shifa is no longer functioning as a hospital. Pressure is mounting on Israel to agree to a ceasefire, as allies express concern over the death toll in Gaza.
