A United Nations (UN) humanitarian assessment team led by the World Health Organisation (WHO) has described the largest hospital in Gaza as a death zone due to persistent Israeli attacks on it.
The team, comprising public health experts, logistics officers and security staff from the UN agencies, visited Al-Shifa Hospital on Saturday to assess the situation on the ground, conduct a rapid situational analysis, assess medical priorities and establish logistics options for further missions.
The team said it found that the hospital has essentially stopped functioning as a medical facility over the last few weeks as a result of the lack of clean water, fuel, medicines, food and other essential aid.
