Journalist Mustafa Sarsour speaking from inside the hospital says drones have been hovering in the area around al-Shifa hospital, targeting individuals moving within or outside the hospital compound, Al Jazeera reports.

“One family tried to leave the compound and by the time they left the outer gates … they were all killed,” he said, adding that all roads leading to the hospital had been fully or partially destroyed.

“No one is able to leave the hospital compound due to the ferocious fighting.”

Sarsour said he was the only remaining journalist inside the hospital.
