paul adams, bbc news, jerusalem. dr yassar qureshi, a british surgeon who's just returned from working at the al aqsa matyr hospital gave us his analysis of the humanitarian situation on the ground in gaza. i was stationed at al—aqsa hospital, which is in the centre of gaza, and that place was already way beyond its capacity. so, just to give you an idea, this hospital, which was one of the few remaining partially functioning hospitals left in gaza, the capacity in normal times should be 150 patients. but at this stage, there were well over 1,000 patients, and each patient with several family members staying with them because they had no other place to go. so it's completely chaotic. it really is quite a catastrophe. there's two or three maybe partially functioning hospitals in rafah. i believe some of them have already been given the evacuation orders. so the knock—on effect on the few remaining hospitals it's unimaginable, the number. yes, as you mentioned there, the al—aqsa martyrs the al—aqsa hospital of
