Morning recap: Fears grow inside Gaza hospitals

Good morning MEE readers.

We have now reached the 36th day of the war in Gaza, with the Palestinian death toll surpassing 11,000, according to the health ministry in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Israeli death toll was revised to 1,200, down from the original number of 1,400.

Israeli air strikes have struck the vicinity of several hospitals in Gaza, including Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical complex in the enclave. The air strikes, coupled with Israeli ground forces continuing their advance into the north, have left the thousands of Palestinians sheltering at these hospitals in a state of fear and anxiety.

In case you're just tuning into our live coverage, here's a recap of what you missed over the past few hours:

• The Palestinian health ministry has said 198 medical personnel have been killed, 53 ambulances destroyed, and 21 hospitals have been put out of service since war broke out on 7 October.
