Shifa Hospital exceeds capacity by 500 percent

Patients in Gaza's Shifa Hospital have been transferred to other hospitals as the hospital has been overwhelmed with patients due to Israeli bombing.

A spokesperson from the Ministry of Health said they can no longer cope with the high volume of patients.

"We are overloaded, we are at 500 percent overload, we have 30 beds in one department but have 120 cases, so we will transfer them to the European Hospital in Rafah, to reduce the overload in the hospital, but we expect more and more cases," he said.
