No food. No water. No medical supplies or medicine. No electricity or fuel. Nonstop bombing and gunfire. Dying babies. Dying women and children. Civilized people don’t do this to other people. From thecradle.co:

Catastrophe is unfolding now at the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza following its capture and occupation by the Israeli army, Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya warned on 16 November.
Journalist Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada summarized the doctor’s comments, which he made to Al-Jazeera Arabic regarding conditions in the hospital.
Dr Abu Salmiya explained that there are about 7,000 people under total siege inside the Al-Shifa compound, including 650 injured people, 45 dialysis patients, and 36 premature babies.
A few hours ago, one dialysis patient died, while four are at imminent risk of death because there is no power for dialysis machines.
Three premature babies died in recent days, and two injured persons died in recent hours due to lack of treatment.
There is no water, fuel, or electricity. Israel broke the main water line into the hospital. There is no purified water to make the special formula for the babies, so they are using ordinary water, and some have become sick with diarrhea, infections, and fever.
There is no food. Children are starving and distressed. There is no medicine, and the wounds of injured people are becoming infected, some with maggots.
