The Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement : A fire broke out at the entrance of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, and there were cases of suffocation among the women and children displaced at the hospital.
Communications were cut off, and the displaced are trapped inside the specialized surgery building and in the emergency reception at building 8.
A number of martyrs and injured fell, with no ability to rescue any of the injured due to the intensity of the flames and targeting anyone who approaches the windows, in another crime against health institutions.
The Ministry of Health appeals to all international organizations to immediately stop this massacre against patients, the injured, the displaced, and the medical teams inside the hospital.
