Most of the intensive care unit patients who were on ventilators due to a lack of fuel and oxygen at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza have died, the doctor who heads the hospital's burn department told Al-Jazeera by phone from inside the facility on Friday.
Dr. Ahmad Mofeed Al-Mokhalalati noted a significant drop in the number of premature babies in their care, with little hope for the survival of the remaining babies under current conditions.
The hospital, which is Gaza's largest, is facing a severe shortage of basic necessities - no water and no electricity in the compound's main buildings.
As a result, surgical operations have stopped due to lack of electricity. This has led to an increase in suffering, especially among children who are now facing severe intestinal infections, a direct result of the lack of clean water, Al-Mokhalalati added.
And although he noted that Israeli forces promised to provide food, the supply delivered was woefully inadequate, taking care of only 40% of those inside the hospital, he said.
The situation escalated when Israeli forces attacked two buildings inside the medical compound, with tanks still present in the area, the doctor said. Snipers are stationed around the hospital, adding a layer of fear and uncertainty according to Al-Mokhalalati./ SkyNews
