    The BBC quote Dr Ebrahem Matar, a heart specialist in the intensive care unit at the Aqsa Martyrs’ hospital - the only medical centre in the middle area of the Gaza Strip.

    "Dr Matar said there was only one operating room and limited number of staff.

    "'It is catastrophic and it is difficult. We see patients deteriorate due to the continuous pain and the continuous resistant infections.

    The hospital is in one of the areas the Israeli army has told Palestinians to flee to.'”

    EDIT: It looks like this is a different hospital Dr Matar was talking about, although they are in the same rough geographical area Al-Shifa hospital might actually be outside the area the IDF told Palestinians to flee to. I’ll update my other comment too.
