More than a dozen hospitals in Gaza are no longer operating, a doctor from the World Health Organization has said.

Dr Ahmed Al-Mandhari, WHO director for the Eastern Mediterranean, said around 15 hospitals in Gaza are no longer working, out of a total of 35.

He said they’d gone out of service because of “direct attacks” and “the lack of fuel”.

“The other remaining hospitals… are functioning partially,” he told BBC News. “(In) the last two days many of them closed their services because there is no fuel.”
