Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, once a symbol of pride for the medical community, has been devastated by two major Israeli military raids. The hospital, which had to cease operations earlier this year, was all but destroyed in the attacks. While an emergency department has reopened, the rest of the complex lies in ruins. Israeli forces have claimed that the hospital was being used as a command centre by Hamas and other Palestinian militants. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people and has severely impacted the healthcare system in Gaza.
