Gaza’s largest functioning hospital facing disaster, medics warn, as Israel widens offensive
Gaza City, Gaza Strip – Amid escalating violence in the Gaza Strip, medics have raised concerns about the dire situation facing the territory’s largest functioning hospital. Al-Shifa Hospital, located in Gaza City, is reportedly overwhelmed with casualties as Israel continues to widen its offensive against Hamas.
According to medics on the ground, the hospital is struggling to cope with the influx of patients, many of whom are women and children. The medical facility is facing severe shortages of essential supplies, including medication, oxygen tanks, and surgical equipment.
In response, Israeli officials assert that their military operations are targeting Hamas militants who have been launching rockets into Israel. They argue that these airstrikes are necessary to ensure the security of Israeli civilians living near the Gaza border.
Meanwhile, Hamas leaders condemn the Israeli offensive as a disproportionate and indiscriminate attack on the Palestinian population. They accuse Israel of violating international law and call for immediate intervention from the international community to protect Palestinian civilians.
The escalating violence in Gaza has already resulted in numerous casualties on both sides, with civilians paying a heavy price for the ongoing conflict. As the situation continues to deteriorate, humanitarian organizations are calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life and alleviate the suffering of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
