Israeli forces are surrounding Gaza’s largest medical complex, Al-Shifa Hospital.

There have been reports of deaths and injuries inside the hospital; hundreds of patients, medical staff, and displaced people are seeking shelter there.

Gaza’s Health Ministry has accused Israel of a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.

The Israeli military has claimed the presence of fighters and their infrastructure in the area of the hospital to conduct terrorist activity.
