Adnan al-Barsh, head of orthopaedics at Al-Shifa Hospital has told Al Jazeera that “there’s not a single hospital or medical facility in service in northern Gaza Strip.

“The Baptist Hospital is besieged, the Indonesian Hospital already out of service without any resources left or medical supplies. We as doctors, did all that we could until the last minute in order to save the victims,” he said.

“We were adamant not to leave without our patients… we were forced to leave at gunpoint,” he said, adding that Israeli snipers are inside and around the hospital.
