Gaza’s medical facilities were in chaos on Friday, with reports of Israeli tanks surrounding hospitals and a deadly hit at the enclave’s main hospital.
The injured and displaced persons are now trapped amid intensive Israeli bombardment.
Israeli Forces had fully encircled the al-Shifa Hospital as of early on Saturday morning, preventing ambulances from entering or leaving the facility, where medical supplies and food are running low.
According to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, between 50,000 and 60,000 people had taken shelter in and around the hospital.
Palestinian officials blamed Israeli strikes for the devastation at al-Shifa and claimed dawn strikes had hit other hospitals.
Israel has yet to respond to the strikes, but it maintains that it does not target civilians. The Israeli military has also accused Hamas of locating one of its main command centers in al-Shifa and of shielding other operational centers and ammunition stockpiles in order to deter attacks, claims that Hamas denies.
Parts of the Indonesian Hospital were damaged and vehicles outside the al-Rantisi cancer hospital were also hit, officials said,
Al-Shifa Director Muhammad Abu Salmiya described the area around the hospital as a “battlefield”, but said the hospital’s staff have pledged to stay with patients until the “last moment”.
“We will not leave, because we know if we leave the hospital, dozens of patients will die,” Abu Salmiya told Al Jazeera.
The escalating bombardment comes after an Israeli strike on the al-Shifa Hospital early on Friday killed at least 13 people and wounded several others, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-governed enclave.
