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.

Nose Jobs in the middle of a war?
I am very sorry for any actual patients and their loved ones. Any actual hospital personnel.
But that is what happens you build a hospital on top of a military base.
That’s what the four hour a day ceasefire is for. If the Muslim world cares so much about those in Gaza, why isn’t a Muslim country offering to take hospital patients?
Any of 'em with a brain have been aware of it since that corrupt potato stole the White Hut.
Not to mention the interminable eight years of that halfbreed faggot peddling treason in the background.
I trust Israel. Period.
I will not be surprised when Hamas blows up the c2 bunker under the hospital and blames Israel for the destruction and massacre.
Israel’s tunnel rats are going to have a tough time with that place.
Besides how many of the patients in hospital are Hamas that will be taken into custody by the Israeli military?
Thats a shame.
I feel for the very few who are actual innocents.
Hamas leaders hiding under the hospital, with human shields. Time to take out the trash.
“Targeting civilians is against the laws of war, but…”
How intellectually dishonest or just plain stupid do you have to be to write that comment defending the savages from their retribution?
Live ..... super intense non-stop fighting near the hospital....

Hamas has lots of fuel. How else would they run the generators that keep their tunnel network habitable.
It’s the same old shitty trope - “women, children, people of color most affected” crap.
Get it from Hamas..tell your buddies to surrender the hostages.
If they could only think of peace...shalom
Wow, thanks. The Palestinians sure seem determined to defend their ‘hospital’. If I were them, and if it were a just a civilian hospital, I’d simply surrender it...know that the patients would be better off anyway.
“...just a civilian hospital” - LOL
Ah...misunderstood
ham-ass has plenty of fuel
why arent the doctors asking them to help?
I’m sorry about the Palestinian kids and non combatant adults too. Innocent people should not.have to die. I’m old enough to remember WW2, and the indiscriminate carnage wrought by the Nazis and also by Russians, English, even Americans. Painful to think about it.
Because they all know that outside of killing Israelis, Hamas isn’t much good for anything else. After living in the Middle East for six years one of the biggest surprises I got was how little the rest of the Arab world cares about the Palis.
It's just like with Biden. There is NO amount of evidence that would convince them Hamas DOES use civilians as shields just as there is NO amount of evidence that would convince them Biden is corrupt.
Israel soldirs took control of two hospitals in past 24 hours....No news on the Al-Shifa Hospital except that journalists there are no longer in contact. But looks like this intense relentless heavy insane fighting is happening around and very near it.
One guy wrote....”tank firing the .50 and bullets is either right below or a block or two away from this camera... you can here the recoil rock when it fires its cannon.”
Lots of smoke now....
Am reminded of this....
“He (Ishmael) will be a wild donkey of a man; His hand will be against every man [continually fighting] And every man’s hand against him; And he will dwell in defiance of all his brothers.” (He never learns)
Israel now 500 meters from that hospital - intense fighting continues...absolutely breathtaking! Makes one appretiate our vets all the more....
