just tell us more about what you saw first hand at al—shifa hospital. thanks very much.r first mission to al—shifa hospital in the last three weeks and we didn't know what we would find. we arrived and found a hospital that we won't show was functioning, that was completely overwhelmed with hundreds of patients, caregivers, thousands of people in the emergency area. very few hospital staff and we met with the hospital leadership and found that the staff had mostly left. many of them have been displaced, so previously 750 bed hospital is operating with about ten or 11 of its normal staff. ten or 11 doctors and nurses and about 70 volunteers will stop patients were streaming in every 30 to 60 seconds, with fresh injuries, and there were patients everywhere, all over the floors, on stretchers, on gurneys. it was almost difficult to walk around without stepping on somebody because there were people covering the floor. it is a hospital that is reallyjust floor. it is a hospital that is really just getting restarted floor. it is a hospital that is reallyjust getting restarted

the world health organization describes the emergency department of gaza's al shifa hospital as a "bloodbath" — after delivering crucial medical supplies. we saw children with open wounds on their faces. we saw a baby with jaundice. we saw many adults with injuries from what appeared to be blast injuries. former conservative peer baroness mone admits she stands to benefit from £60 million of profit from personal protective equipment sold to the government during the pandemic. i wasn't trying to pull the wool over anyone�*s eyes, and i regret, and i am sorry, for not saying straight out, yes i am involved. i will be representing the uk at the eurovision song contest! pop star and actor olly alexander is announced as the united kingdom's entry for next year's eurovision song contest. hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. britain and germany are calling for an urgent sustainable ceasefire in gaza. last week both countries abstained on a united nations resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. but in a change of tone which echoes a shift in the us, the foreign ministers of both countri

i'll get back to al shifa. most what we're concerned about is the shrinking of space due to military hostilities. we're hearing the war coming into gaza. the hostility is making it almost incredibly difficult, it's very unsafe to move supplies, staff and patients. so delays admissions to hospitals. let me give you some figures. the health system in gaza is on their knees, the hospital has 25 which are not functional. there's only seven partially functional in the south which is now the back bone for almost 2 million people. and four minimally function in the north. al shifa, we just saw that information the day before. and we have reports that al aqua hospital and another hospital currently besieged. when you look at primary care, only 25% are functional. what happens in the north, like one hospital from the other hospital, they call it dysfunctional, cannot be a blueprint for the south. hospitals are extremely overwhelmed everywhere. everywhere i've gone, we talk about 200%, 300% occupancy rates. you talk abou

when i was at al shifa i hadn't come across any armed presence. freely as i tried to find the kind of equipment and the dressings and would go along the hospital from other departments and uprooted and if i saw an area that looked out of bounds and i've been down to the radiology department to get radiologists to comment on some ct scans of my patients. still, i could not see anything. actually at some stage i came to the realization that we weren't getting any -- i came to the realization that most likely there was a parallel military medical system because even in the wounded that we were getting were all civilian and we weren't getting any -- [ indiscernible ] >> so it became obvious to me that there was a parallel system that existed, but in shifa hospital even the policemen who were trying to maintain crowd control in front of the emergency department so that the relatives would not completely overrun the emergency department -- [ indiscernible ] >> thank you so much, doctor. obviously, a pleasure to hear from you even though it was a very gr

which they said connects to the underground infrastructure in the area of al—rantisi hospital and al—shifatal. this is just one of several videos they have released in recent days, and a lot of it is filmed indoors or underground. the idf claims this shows a tunnel leading to the home of the right—hand man of yahya sinwar, a hamas official. now, some of the above ground footage is filmed at night. overall, this makes the footage hard to verify. the idf have offered many graphics and explanations about how the tunnels are connected. but without video to link those tunnels to identifiable exteriors, we have yet to verify these images. and this isn't the first time the israeli army have made claims about tunnels. for example, in october they produced this animation which they said showed a network of tunnels under al—shifa hospital. they called it the main headquarters for hamas terrorist activities. then the israeli forces got control of the al—shifa site and were able to investigate what lay underneath it. and now in november, they released a video of what they said was a 55 metre tunnel un

who's emergency medical teams also highlighted the darf situation of hospitals and gauza such as al shifa hospital. uh, the current situation at al shifa hospital, and we're in the emergency department, which is completely packed with patients, as you can see, there are only five ambulances working in northern gaza right now, uh, and patients are self-presenting on donkey carts on stretchers being walked down the road, um, it's incredibly crowded, there are very few staff, hundreds of patients awaiting surgery, uh, it's just an unbelievable situation, this is hospital in need of resuscitation, uh, they indicated that there are only five or six doctors, five or six nurses and about 70 volunteers from the community here who are taking care of hundreds of people, they're not able to do surgery, they're not able to provide intensive care, they're delivering babies in the emergency room, uh, they don't have fuel, they don't have staff, they don't have supply. who will stand with shifa and with the whole health system here in gaza, but what we saw today was among the worst we've ever seen of of

they also went to shifa. shifa hospital was the most important hospital in gaza.re. so there were four barely functioning hospitals in the north. at the moment, there are none that are functional. shifa was referring patients to another hospital. we want to revive shifa, of course the infrastructure is still there. there are two emergency medical teams who are two emergency medical teams who are willing to move there and to assist. so it is part of an overall one un plan, to ensure basic services, food, security, health, water, shelter, and warehouses become operational. if we are talking about those up north, we have worries about hospital functionality. we have seen a health system, there are only seven partially functioning hospitals in the south. the seven in the south are caring for probably 1.9 million people. fist are caring for probably 1.9 million --eole. �* ., ., , people. at the united nations, we are looking _ people. at the united nations, we are looking at _ people. at the united nations, we are looking at this _ people. at the united nations, we are

who will stand with shifa and with the whole health system here in gaza, but what we saw today was among the worst we've ever seen of of hospital with patients on the floor, uh, patients being carted in on trolleys, um, blood everywhere, the few medical staff, uh, suuturing children on the floor, people wailing out in pain, uh, not enough staff to support them, it's really an unbelievable situation, something really needs to be done, we've taken some action today, there is an enormous amount still to do, we have to support shifa and we have to support the health system here in gaza. now non-profit organization based in europe has painted a grim picture of this scale of starvation in gaza. the euro-mediterranean human rights monitor says that more than 70% of gazins are suffering from severe hunger. many have no choice but eat expired food items. but isn't all the suffering that people are facing in the basis strip. let's not take a listen to it. this place palestinian talk about the dire situation in gaza. swear we're sleeping on the floor. at night it rains and we are close to the sea.

the spokesman for gaza's health ministry as slamed israel's repeated attacks on shifa hospital.a said such strikes are endangering the lives of babies at the intensive care unit. israel clearly wanted to kill all those who were present in the shefa complex. first it killed the babies who were at the hospital by preventing the entry of fuel, cutting off the electricity and repeated targeting of the buildings. we asked the international committee of the red cross to transfer the babies to the intensive care unit so that we can provide them with medical services. we did not have any equipment and had to use blankets for heat. the iranian foreign minister says it is a public demand for the establishment of an international tribunal to put israeli officials on trial. hossain amir abdullah han in a joint press or press conference with his omani counterpart bad al- busaid said some countries including iran have launch complaints in that regard. he expressed hope that israeli war criminals who have massacred more than 16,000 palestinians over the past two months. will be brought to just

room, uh, they don't have fuel, they don't have staff, they don't have supply, who will stand with shifa and with the whole health system here in gaza, but what we saw today was among the worst we've ever seen of of hospital with patients on the floor uh patients being carted in on trolleys, um, blood everywhere, the few medical staff uh, suuturing children on the floor, people wailing out in pain, uh, not enough staff to support them, it's really... an unbelievable situation, something really needs to be done, we've taken some action today, there is an enormous amount still to do, we have to support shifa and we have to support the health system here in gaza. is our correspondent joining us from darbala to tell us more. we just saw scenes of the hospital in particular hospital, but i'm curious if you can tell us what the situation is like in the hospitals, are they not? functioning at all because uh that particular clip that we just ran uh showed that uh, i believe it was al that was still functioning, but we have said that it's not, and of course any other major developments that you h

before they got to al shifa, they dismantled four pediatric hospitals.hey had attacked and since then -- so saying that the health system failed, it is being dismantled. when i was at al shifa, had come across any armed, i would walk freely i was trying to do the dressings as we were running out of them and would go around the hospital trying to get what i needed from other departments and other operating rooms. but did i see an area that looks out of bounds and i've been down to the radiology department to get radiology to comment on some ct scans of my patients. still, i could not see anything. actually, i take to the realization, because we weren't getting any men fighting. i came to the realize is it was a military medical system. even the wounded that we were getting were all civilian and we weren't getting any that were being moved. so it was obvious that there was a parallel system that existed. but in al shifa hospital, even the policemen who were trying to maintain crowd control in front of the emergency department so that the relatives would no
