Northern Gaza hospital head reports 'extremely difficult' conditions

Ahmed al-Kahlout, head of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, told Al Jazeera that "no one can leave" the hospital, which has been under siege by Israeli tanks for four days.

Al-Kahlout reported that the bombardment of the hospital was "very, very intense", with two mothers killed along with their newborn babies after the woman's maternity unit was targeted  "without prior warning or explanation".

The hospital is the third to come under Israeli siege since 7 October. It is one of the last remaining operational health facilities in the northern Gaza Strip.
