Hundreds in desperate situation at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, aid agencies say; at least three killed in West Bank city of Tulkarm, reports Palestinian news agency Wafa
It has become increasingly difficult to contact people in Gaza, particularly in the north where Gaza City and al-Shifa hospital are located. On Monday morning, the aid group Doctors Without Borders (MDF) said they had managed to contact one doctor, an MSF surgeon, at al-Shifa by phone. He told them:
We don’t have electricity. There’s no water in the hospital.
There’s no food. People will die in a few hours without functioning ventilators. In front of the main gate, there are many bodies, there are also injured patients, we can’t bring them inside.
