Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital forced to bury dead patients in ‘mass grave’

Al Jazeera  

Hospital director says 179 bodies interred together in courtyard as Israeli forces encircle the facility. Staff at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital have buried dozens of patients in a mass grave, hospital officials say, as thousands of Palestinians remain trapped in the facility surrounded by Israeli forces. “We were forced to bury them in a mass grave.” He said 179 bodies had been interred so far in the courtyard and seven babies and 29 intensive care patients were among those who have died since fuel for the hospital’s generator ran out on Saturday. The United States said it “has information that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including al-Shifa, and tunnels underneath them to conceal and support their military operations and to hold hostages,” according to National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra said on Tuesday that an Israeli offer to move babies out of al-Shifa Hospital with portable incubators has not resulted in a concrete plan.
