‘Not a drop of water in al-Shifa Hospital’

Ashraf al-Qudra, the Ministry of Health spokesperson in al-Shifa Hospital, said that the situation is “catastrophic”, as Israeli forces continue to raid the building. 

“There is not a drop of water, the situation is catastrophic, doctors are unable to change dressings on wounds or perform surgery,” he said on Friday, in a televised interview with Al Jazeera.

“Children have a number of issues from diarrhoea to high temperatures, we aren’t able to treat them due to the lack of water and fuel in the hospital.”

He added that ambulances have not been able to come to the hospital to collect dead bodies due to the ongoing bombing. 
“Israel forces are still carrying out searches across all rooms, even in the maternity ward,” he said.
