Israeli troops strom Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 16 November 2023

Israeli troops have stormed Gaza's main hospital. Al-Shifa Hospital - the largest in the region - has been surrounded by intense fighting for days.

The hospital suspended operations over the weekend due to a lack of electricity, oxygen, medical supplies and water.

US intelligence has backed Israel's claims that Hamas headquarters are under the hospital - although Hamas disputes this.

Médecins Sans Frontières - or Doctors Without Borders - has condemned the raid, saying it violates international humanitarian law.
