“If there is no ceasefire, if there is no medical aid and medical personnel who can enter and support the hospital, all the patients who are remaining in these hospitals will just die, and these hospitals will turn into graveyards.”

Dr Abu Mughaiseb said the Intensive Care Unit of the main paediatric hospital in Gaza had been targeted by tanks, forcing MSF teams and other medical staff to leave and abandon patients.
