Gaza’s biggest hospital has reportedly run out of water, food and electricity as patients remain trapped inside.<\/p>\n

The BBC reports heavy fighting is taking place around the Al-Shifa hospital. Israeli officials claim they have clashed with Hamas near to the hospital but have not fired at it.<\/p>\n

A surgeon has now claimed the hospital has run out of vital supplies. While it has been reported babies are set to be evacuated to a “safer hospital”.<\/p>\n

Medics said two babies have died with another 37 at risk. Thousands of people are said to be sheltering inside Al-Shifa, which has been the centre of fighting.<\/p>\n

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has repeatedly accused Hamas of operating from tunnels under the hospital. This is something Hamas has denied.<\/p>\n

Surgeon Marwan Abu Saada told the BBC the sound of shooting and bombardments could be heard “every second”. He says they have been unable to bury the dead.<\/p>\n

Claiming the morgue refrigerator was not working, he said: “We don’t want to have any outbreaks due to these dead bodies.”<\/p>\n

Israel says there is no siege at Al-Shifa. It also claims the east side of the hospital was open for the safe passage of those who wanted to leave.<\/p>\n
