"Israel-Palestine: Al-Shifa Hospital's Controversial Role in the Conflict"

Israeli troops encircled and targeted Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital, forcing thousands of people, including patients, medical staff, and displaced families, to evacuate. The siege lasted for eight days, during which there was no water, electricity, or means of communication. Doctors could only perform simple operations and basic first aid, and access to cleaning and sanitation products was limited. Those forced to leave were subjected to beatings and insults by soldiers. The Israeli military denied ordering the evacuation, claiming that the hospital director requested a "secure axis" for people to flee. The Israeli onslaught on Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least 13,000 Palestinians, including 5,500 children.
