Israeli forces ended a two-week siege on Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, alleging it housed militants using it for refuge. While the operation was praised by Israel for targeting Hamas militants, Palestinians depict a scene of devastation, with bodies scattered, buildings destroyed, and unexploded ordnance. Conflicting narratives exist on casualties, with Israel claiming no civilian deaths, while Palestinians dispute this, citing numerous civilian casualties. The hospital, once a bustling medical hub, now lies in ruins, rendering it inoperable. The aftermath reflects a humanitarian crisis, with patients left without care, trapped, or moved to makeshift medical facilities. The siege has left Gaza’s largest hospital inoperable, adding strain to an already struggling healthcare system due to the ongoing conflict with Israel.
