The hospital has been threatened numerous times by the Israeli Army.
Doctors repeatedly said they would not leave critically ill patients behind.
In addition, thousands of displaced families have been living in the grounds of Al-Shifa, believing they would not be targeted.

Wael is just one of the handful of reporters on the ground in Gaza filing reports for TV broadcast. This report is harrowing.
And as

mentioned this is 2 weeks after his family was killed.
Wael Dahdouh speaking to people in the Al Shati refugee camp, which was bombed by Israel yesterday.
And as you watch it, remember that 2 weeks ago the journalists own wife and children were bombed & killed by Israel.

This whole thing is absurd in many ways. Yet it also distracts from the policy itself. Now we talk about what a football presenter has tweeted rather than the clearly cruel and unlawful policy which again chips away at fundamental intl human rights.

Much of Northern Gaza will now go dark. The news will be reliant on Israeli forces in that region or journalists invited on press tours
This is heartbreaking on so many levels..
when I was in Gaza I asked Wael if he ever thinks about retiring in another country and he answered: this is my land, there is no meaning for safety if you are not in your land.

The accurate translation for this is "400 killed and wounded". It is a tally of both killed and injured.
