"Exploring the Devastation: A Look Inside Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital"

Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in the region, has been severely damaged after two weeks of intense assault by Israeli troops battling Hamas militants. The hospital, which housed maternity wards, surgery suites, and emergency rooms, has been mostly destroyed, with the IDF claiming it was used as a mustering point and command center for terrorists. The IDF led a group of foreign journalists through the compound, showcasing the destruction and claiming to have killed and detained numerous Hamas fighters. The hospital staff and Hamas officials deny the military's allegations, stating that the complex was not used for military purposes. The raid has left the hospital unfit to be a medical center, with the IDF claiming it as a success but also acknowledging the tragedy of destroying the hospital buildings.
