Half an hour ago I made a call to someone inside Al-Shifa Hospital. He said that the tense situation around the hospital remains the same and that several explosions and exchanges of fire were heard during the night.
He also announced that tanks are surrounding the hospital from all sides and that access in and out of the hospital is impossible. Even moving from one building to another within the hospital complex is a big risk.
People have died in the hospital because there is no electricity, no water and not enough medicine.
Yesterday, Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said an attempt by the Israeli military to send 300 liters of fuel to Shifa on Sunday had failed because Hamas had refused to accept it, something Hamas denies.
My contact inside the hospital said that this would only be enough for half an hour and that a permanent solution was needed. He said that at least 10,000 liters of fuel per day are needed for this hospital.
Israel has accused Hamas of having a command and control center in Shifa, which the group denies.
I have been in the hospital hundreds of times, I was born there, my son was born there, in the last two months of my mother's life, she was inside the kidney dialysis center and I visited her every day.
It's very difficult to verify what's down there. With my own eyes, I have not seen any military capacity inside the hospital buildings./BBC
