Pictures: Inside the overcrowded Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza

The World Health Organisation said on Tuesday that it was no longer able to distribute life saving supplies to several hospitals in Gaza, due to lack of security guarantees. 

It said that several hospitals had closed as a result of damage from attacks, as well as due to lack of fuel. 

Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City reached a bed occupancy close to 150 percent on Monday night, it said. 

Images taken in the hospital show the devastation of Israel's air strikes and seige, as wounded Palestinians - including scores of children - take shelter and wait to be treated.
