- "If there's no ceasefire or medical aid, "all the patients who are remaining in these hospitals will just die."
- They say Al-Shifa - the largest medical facility in Gaza - ran out of fuel.
As the BBC's Rushdi Abualouf reported overnight, Israeli forces have Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital surrounded - and there's great concern for staff and patients who remain there.
If there's no ceasefire or medical aid, "all the patients who are remaining in these hospitals will just die, and these hospitals will turn into graveyards," says Dr Mohammad Abu Mughaiseb, the deputy medical coordinator for the charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Gaza.
He told the BBC World Service's Weekend programme that the intensive care unit of the main paediatric hospital in Gaza had been targeted by tanks, forcing MSF teams and other medical staff to leave and abandon patients.
“The paediatric hospital, the medical team left the hospital and there were five babies in the intensive care unit. These babies now are left alone in a hospital that is bombed, and these babies will die.”
Dr Abu Mughaiseb also said the shortage of drugs was so dire that surgeries were being performed without anaesthesia.
Al-Shifa hospital reportedly suspends operations
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says operations have been suspended at the Al-Shifa hospital complex in Gaza.
We don't have more information than that right now - but we'll keep you posted.
Another night of bombardment for Gazan hospitals
At least four major hospitals in Gaza are now effectively on the front line of the fighting. Thousands of patients – as well as Gazans seeking shelter inside medical centres - have endured another night of Israeli bombardment.
Israel argues that Hamas fighters – by constructing bases under the buildings – have made these legitimate military targets. Hamas denies that it’s built command and control bases under hospitals.
Overnight, we’ve seen updates from charities focussing on two of the hospitals in northern Gaza.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) warned that the Al-Quds hospital may have to shut because of a lack of fuel and medical supplies. It claimed 500 patients were at risk with those in intensive care and babies on incubators likely to die.
And Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said their staff at the Al-Shifa hospital reported a "catastrophic situation" in the early hours before their communications went down. Power is now reported to have resumed, but the director of the hospital has told the BBC as many as 15,000 people remain within the complex.
Hospital said to have run out of fuel
A spokesperson for the Hamas-run health ministry has been speaking to Reuters. They say Al-Shifa - the largest medical facility in Gaza - ran out of fuel.
"As a result, one newborn baby died inside the incubator, where there are 45 babies," says Ashraf Al-Qidra.
