Israeli troops are ransacking al-Shifa Hospital as “terrified” patients and medical staff look on, a health official says.
Dr Munir al-Bursh, general director of hospitals in Gaza, said Israeli soldiers destroyed equipment in the basement and other buildings, including those housing the emergency and surgery departments.
“They are still here … patients, women and children are terrified,” he said. Al-Bursh said doctors vowed to stay with their patients “till the end”.
He called for the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross to secure a safe corridor for patients, staff and displaced families trapped in the facility to leave.
The UN estimates there are at least 2,300 patients, staff and civilians inside the facility.
