Some hospitals in Gaza say they are under attack as heavy fighting and explosions over the last 24 hours have continued amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Targeting civilians is against the laws of war, but Israel maintains that Hamas uses civilians as shields. International organizations have decried the shellings in retaliation for Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack, which killed more than 1,400 in Israel. The death toll continues to mount in Gaza with 11,078 dead as of Friday, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.
Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza's largest medical center located in Gaza City -- where thousands of wounded people are being treated and thousands of displaced Palestinians are sheltering -- reported large explosions nearby Friday morning, staff told ABC News and in video verified by ABC News.
Many people are attempting to flee the violence including hospital staff like surgeon Sara AlSaqqa. AlSaqqa sent two messages to ABC News on Friday saying, "We evacuated" and "This is a nightmare."
Dr. Ahmed Mokhallalati, head of the plastic surgery department at Al-Shifa, said the hospital had been shelled and that the staff has "enough fuel for generators until tonight, when about 100 patients on respirators in adult ICU and neonatal ICU will die" if more fuel does not arrive.
It's unclear where the attack came from. Video verified by ABC News showed Palestinians in the area injured after the attack.
Mokhallalati said he is not leaving the hospital and told ABC News between 15% and 20% of hospital personnel are currently working.

Things to consider BEFORE you bomb a country out of the blue.
Tough shit, huh...
Hospitals!!!!
Oh noes!!!
Yawn.
Hamas folks. Have Hamas deliver some gas.
Israel: GET SOME!
Hamas has many thousands of gallons of gas stored away in their tunnels. Ask them for some; I’m sure they’ll get right on it.
Hamas likely has BOATLOADS of supplies, at sub-level #12 or so, under the hospital. Ask them for some.
“Bomb a country OUT OF THE BLUE?”
Purveyors of FUD .. likely 95% bullsh!t.
well since Hamas using civilians as shields is “Against the laws of war” then the UN needs to go in and arrest them all- what good are laws if noone enforces them against the bad guys?
Hamas did that to Israel.
live video from Gaza. Very heavy fighting for about 7 hours now : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jt_ZWNzd7c
Actions have consequences morons.
Mokhallalati said he is not leaving the hospital and told ABC News between 15% and 20% of hospital personnel are currently working.

So 80 to 85 percent have gotten the hell out of Dodge.
Good for them. When a hospital is more of a Hamas staging area than it is for the sick and wounded - then yeah. Leave.
Well, well, well. What did you expect, Gaza? Can you bring back the Israeli dead? Can your ICU bring them back to life? Play with fire, get incinerated. Sucks to be you, Gaza.
Lots of booms going on now.
I imagine Hamas is hoarding the fuel to run the power for their underground network. When the hospitals runs out of fuel they will blame the Israelites. The Biden regime will push the IDF to let in more fuel—a wrong move. This will show our enemies that the U.S. is soft and encourage moves against America.
Get thee to a hospital in Jordan.
