Two hospital staff (Fahmy Ahed Almedana and Mohammed Saeed) reported on their Instagram Stories that the situation in and around the hospital is very scary. About a two hours ago, Mohammed reported that tanks were very near the hospital, and the IOF was detonating flare bombs very close by. An hour ago, he said the bombing is very, very close to the hospital.

Journalist Wadea Abu Alsaoud is inside Al-Shifa Hospital. He was the last journalist to remain there after the other journalists evacuated. He decided that as long as there were still people in the hospital, he would stay there and document their situation. He has remained there and in the surrounding area the entire time, more or less alone, documenting the horrific conditions in and around the hospital and the conditions facing rescue teams.
Today he uploads a video from inside Al-Shifa. Despite the long siege and forced evacuation by the IOF, some people stayed either because they refused to leave or could not leave due to their ailments. Slowly people have returned seeking shelter and medical care. The few remaining medical professionals have been doing everything they can to provide any kind of medical treatment, but their capacity is extremely limited due to the blockade and the targeted destruction of their storage facilities. Now the hospital is once more filled to bursting with the injured and their families. As we see here, there are so many patients that there is barely any room to walk.
Medical student Fahmy Ahed Almedana, who chose to remain at Al-Shifa to help patients, reports via Instagram Stories that many wounds are becoming infected some even have worms. Princekouta, another medical student at Al-Shifa, reported the same thing several weeks ago.
