Gaza: Scene of destruction at al-Shifa hospital


Footage shows burned buildings at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, two weeks after it came under siege by Israeli troops.

The Hamas-run health ministry and witnesses who spoke to the BBC said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have pulled out of the territory’s biggest hospital.

The raid happened after Israel said it had intelligence indicating Hamas was using the hospital as a base to launch attacks.

Hamas has denied using medical sites to carry out military operations.
