Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City

The WHO said on Sunday that Al-Shifa in Gaza City - the territory's largest with 700 beds -
had ceased to function and that the situation inside was "dire and perilous".
The surrounding streets are engulfed by fighting between Hamas and Israeli forces. Critical
infrastructure has been damaged, according to the UN.
Israel says Hamas fighters operate in tunnels underneath the hospital - a claim which Hamas denies.
Staff inside say it is impossible to leave without risking injury or death.
The WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said on X that "constant gunfire and
bombings in the area" had "exacerbated the already critical circumstances".
Multiple reports from inside say there are no food and no fuel to run generators. Solar energy is being
used to power a few critical systems.
There have been communication blackouts - the Doctors Without Borders charity was unable
to contact its members inside Gaza over the weekend. Attempts by the BBC to contact workers have
often been unsuccessful.
The Hamas-run health ministry has said there are at least 2,300 people still inside the hospital
- up to 650 patients, 200-500 staff and around 1,500 people seeking shelter.
This number includes newborn babies being kept in a surgical theatre at the site.
Staff say that three of 39 infants in their care died over the weekend for lack of incubators. Surviving
babies were at serious risk of death, according to doctors.
The Israel Defense Force's (IDF) chief spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said on
Saturday that Israel would provide assistance to evacuate the babies to a "safer hospital".
However, that evacuation had yet to happen as of Monday afternoon.
Hospital staff have told the BBC that moving the babies safely would require sophisticated
equipment, and that there is no "safer hospital" inside Gaza.
Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said that the 300
litres offered would have been enough for the babies and more could be provided.
"Hamas did not want to accept solutions for the lack of fuel needed to save the babies," he said,
adding: "We provided fuel and they [Hamas] refused to take it."
Marwan Abu Saada, a surgeon in Shifa, told the BBC that there was bombing around the
hospital and ambulances could not get in.
The IDF also said efforts to deliver 300 litres of fuel to Shifa on Sunday had failed because
Hamas had refused to accept it - something Hamas denied.
Mr Abu Saada told the BBC on the same day that 300 litres would "last 30 minutes" - the
hospital needs 10,000 litres a day to operate normally.
On top of this is the growing risk of disease from lack of sanitation and the decomposition of
dead bodies that cannot be refrigerated.
Mr Abu Saada said that attempts to bury the dead had been thwarted by fighting around the
complex, and the morgue refrigerator had failed for lack of power.
There were 100 bodies unburied in the hospital courtyard, he added.
Dr Marwan Al-Barsh, director general of Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry, said that as well
as the courtyard, the hospital's mortuaries were also filled with corpses.
He added that hospital officials had tried to bury those who had died in the hospital, but that
people had been unable to leave without coming under fire.
Israel says it knows "with certainty" that there is a Hamas command centre underneath Shifa.
It has shared a 3-D representation of what it said were a network of tunnels under the hospital, and
recordings it says are of Hamas fighters discussing them.
Hamas denies it is using the hospital or that it has an operations centre underneath. Doctors
inside insist there is no Hamas presence there. The BBC's Gaza correspondent Rushdi Abualouf said
that he had never seen "any military capability" inside the hospital, but acknowledged it was difficult
to verify either Israel's or Hamas's claims.
