TL;DR Summary

Hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza City have been severely impacted by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Al-Shifa, the largest hospital in Gaza, has ceased to function due to nearby fighting, and other facilities are reporting shortages of supplies and power. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that 36 health facilities, including 22 hospitals, have been damaged since the war began. The situation is dire, with communication blackouts, lack of food and fuel, and a growing risk of disease. The hospitals are also struggling to bury the dead due to ongoing fighting. Israel claims that Hamas operates tunnels underneath Al-Shifa, but Hamas denies this. The situation is worsening, with hospitals operating beyond capacity and lacking resources to treat everyone.
