Israeli forces entered al-Shifa Hospital, Gazaโ€™s largest medical complex, after days of siege and fighting nearby. WHO said it had lost contact with health workers at the hospital and stressed that hospitals must be protected under international humanitarian law. Israel said Hamas used the complex for military purposes, an allegation Hamas denied. The presence of patients, premature infants and displaced people underlined the stakes of military operations at a functioning hospital.
