Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility in Gaza, is hours away from shutting down if there is no fuel allowed into the besieged enclave, Al Jazeera reports.

If the hospital shuts down, it would endanger the fate of 40,000 evacuees seeking refuge in the hospitals, including thousands of injured Palestinians and babies in incubators.

Earlier, a Gaza doctor said six rooms in the hospital had been shut down to save fuel.
