00:00 On Sunday, staff from the World Health Organization and the United Nations Office for the Coordination
00:04 of Humanitarian Affairs visited Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, the main hospital in central Gaza.
00:10 The UN staff reported that medics, patients and displaced people are fleeing from the
00:14 hospital as the Israeli aggression grows closer.
00:18 Losing the facility would be another major blow to a health system shattered by three
00:21 months of constant bombings.
00:23 Doctors Without Borders and other groups withdrew from the hospital in Deir al-Bala in recent
00:28 days, saying it is too dangerous.

00:36 functioning.
00:37 The health ministry said early Monday that 73 bodies and 99 wounded people were brought
00:41 to the hospital in just the last 24 hours.
