Fear grows for patients inside Gaza hospital, cut off after Israelis arrive

Doctors in Gaza's largest hospital, al-Shifa, are expressing deep concern for the safety of their patients and staff. Israeli forces have surrounded the hospital, preventing anyone from leaving or entering for over a day. The health ministry in Gaza reports that the soldiers have removed bodies and destroyed vehicles on the hospital grounds, but have not provided essential supplies like water, food, or baby milk. The hospital is overcrowded with patients and displaced individuals due to the ongoing conflict. nnThe medical teams are struggling to keep patients alive without basic necessities. The situation is dire, with reports of deaths, including premature infants, due to the lack of fuel for hospital operations. The World Health Organization is attempting to coordinate a medical evacuation, but faces challenges due to the security situation and communication barriers. Meanwhile, all hospitals in northern Gaza have been closed down by the Israeli military, which has also ordered evacuations in the region. nnThe international community is paying close attention to the events in Gaza. There are discussions about the need for a continued military presence to prevent the resurgence of militant groups after the conflict. However, there are also calls for caution against occupying Gaza, as it could lead to further complications. The violence has not only affected Gaza but has also escalated in the West Bank, with increased tensions and casualties. The United Nations has raised concerns about serious rights violations and the possibility of an international investigation into the war.
