The United Nations said Sunday that it had sent an inspection mission to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, a focal point of Israel’s military campaign in the strip, and warned that lack of fuel, clean water and other essentials had turned the facility into a “death zone.”
The U.N.’s report on conditions in the Gaza City hospital, the largest in the Gaza Strip, came as fighting between the Israeli military and Hamas militants intensified in northern parts of the city for a second day. Israeli troops are seeking to extend their control of what they say is a key urban stronghold of Hamas’s military wing from the coastline toward the east.
In a joint statement, the U.N. agencies that led the mission to Al-Shifa said 291 patients and 25 healthcare workers remained at the hospital after the Israeli military on Saturday ordered the evacuation of some 2,500 people sheltering there.
Israel has yet to show clear evidence of what it said are complexes under the hospital used by Hamas’s military wing. The Israeli military has said that it is slowly combing through the hospital in a delicate operation that could take many days.

Do you believe that hospitals should remain safe havens even in the midst of war, and why or why not?
@9H4GWH97mos7MO
Yes. Why is this even a question?
Hospitals care without regards to whom they are treating. They are a place to heal, why would you bomb them?
@9H4FJBKLibertarian 7mos7MO
Yes. However we should limit our involvement in Gaza and stop glorifying the idea of Palestine being a sovereign state. Palestinians are given temporary asylum in a foreign nation, as guests, they should reason with Israel, or be forced either militarily or other means, to leave their place of refuge. Palestine has no legal rights, and their support for hamas is proof that they support terrorist organizations to rule their temporary territories.
@9H4FKJ77mos7MO
Yes, I think that even during war hospitals should be a safe haven to those in need of care.
@9H4FCMJ7mos7MO
We need somewhere to heal our wounded even if it’s not the best
@DeterminedFish7mos7MO
Omg. This is insane numbers of casualties. Including babies.
@CharismaticS3curityDemocrat7mos7MO
And will Israel ever be held accountable? it never has thanks to the shocking hypocrisy of the US and its Western allies.
@JusticeZoe7mos7MO
Hypocrisy comes naturally to the US nothing is shocking about it. Just look at what it has done in West Asia over the past many years.
@ResoluteCaviarDemocrat7mos7MO
How much evidence do you need and yes multiple terrorists were eliminated at the hospital, do you wish to bury them individually?
Any sign of Hamas hostages?
