Ashraf al-Qudra, Gaza health ministry spokesman, says “thousands of women, children, sick and wounded are in danger of death” as Israeli raids on al-Shifa continue for a third night.
Indonesia Hospital in northern Gaza is “completely out of service”, the director tells Al Jazeera, as medics treat patients who have been unable to get care at al-Shifa.
At least 11,470 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7, but the death toll not been updated for days due to the collapse of the enclave’s health system which collected data. In Israel, the official death toll from Hamas’s attacks stands at more than 1,200.
