During a news conference outside al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, a doctor has urged the international community to put a stop to the “war crimes” being committed against Gaza’s hospitals, Al Jazeera reports.

“We are now calling [on] the whole world, if there is any awake conscience, please [take] action,” he said. “Any politician in the world now who cannot put the pressure to stop these war crimes on the hospitals, his hands are bloodied.”

He said that the besieged al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City is understaffed and on the verge of collapse.

“Water now is not available. Electricity as well is not available,” he said. “The hospital doors are open, but we cannot provide medical help for our patients.”
