Gaza ’s Ministry of Health said a fire is breaking out in al-Shifa, the strip’s largest hospital, following bombardment on the hospital’s outskirts and internal courtyard. “Death will be the result of burning, not thirst,” said the ministry’s deputy undersecretary, Dr. Yousif Abu al-Reesh, referring to the lack of clean drinking water .

His call was dotted with sounds of large booms nearby, as he described in a flat voice the hospital’s bleak reality.
