Amid Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza, a UN team, coordinated with the IDF, risked their lives to assess Al-Shifa Hospital's dire situation. The World Health Organization (WHO) disclosed a "desperate" scene, branding the hospital a "death zone." Shelling signs and a mass grave with over 80 buried people were evident. Al-Shifa, crippled by shortages, redirects patients to the overwhelmed Indonesian Hospital. With 25 health workers and 291 patients, WHO calls for an immediate ceasefire. Plans for evacuating patients and staff are underway, emphasizing the urgency of humanitarian assistance in the conflict-stricken region.
