Israeli forces have surrounded several hospitals in northern Gaza. The biggest - Al-Shifa - says it has run out of fuel, and is closed to new patients.
The Israeli military says this video shows its soldiers placing 300 liters of fuel near Al-Shifa. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Hamas refused to accept the fuel. The hospital director denied that, and said the fuel would not have been enough to power hospital generators for even an hour.
The World Health Organization has described the situation at Al-Shifa as 'dire and perilous.' It says the hospital is unable to function due to fighting nearby, and the number of patient deaths has increased significantly.
