As fighting rages, fears grow for the largest hospital in central Gaza. The area around Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza, which was usually busy before the war, is emptying out as fighting intensifies, Al Jazeera reports.

Mohammed Abu-Ali, a nurse at the hospital, told Al Jazeera since most doctors fled — and given the risk of bombardment — patients are also leaving. Those that come in injured are unlikely to receive proper treatment. The intensive cardiac care unit has been closed.
