WHO: Dire conditions at Gaza’s hospitals
This week, the Beyond the Byline podcast looks into the critical situation unfolding in Gaza's hospitals as Israel continues its military operations in the strip.
Medical centres - once a refuge for civilians - have been struggling to continue to operate with their fuel, electricity and medical supplies cut off. On Wednesday, the Israel Defence Forces raided Gaza's biggest hospital, Al-Shifa, saying that Hamas militants were hiding out beneath the building.
Doctors and aid workers on the ground have put out calls for a ceasefire, with the United Nations relief chief stating that "hospitals are not battlegrounds".
We discussed the critical situation in Gaza's medical facilities with Christian Lindmeier, a spokesperson at the World Health Organisation (WHO).
