Israeli Offensive Puts Gaza Hospitals at Risk

Hospitals and medical facilities have been caught up in intense fighting as Israel pressed its offensive against Hamas in Gaza City. The focus of attention has been on Al-Shifa, Gaza's largest hospital, where an estimated 2,300 people remain trapped by battles in the surrounding streets. Other facilities are reporting



similar situations - a lack of supplies and power, and an ever-present threat to life due to fighting.

According to the World Health Organization, 36 health facilities including 22 hospitals have been damaged since the war began on 7 October.
