It has been reported that more than 170 bodies are buried within Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.

According to AFP on the 14th (local time), Muhammad Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Hospital, stated, "A total of 179 people, including babies and patients who died in the intensive care unit, have been buried in a mass grave." Director Salmiya added, "Bodies are scattered throughout the hospital complex, and the morgue no longer has electricity supply."

On the same day, with one additional male and one female death, the total number of patients who died in the intensive care unit (ICU) rose to 29, and the number of newborn deaths was recorded at 29. AFP quoted a journalist inside the hospital saying, "There is a foul odor of decomposing bodies everywhere."

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have reportedly deployed tanks at the entrance of Al-Shifa Hospital, AFP reported. Israel claims that Hamas has a tunnel command center beneath the hospital, but Hamas denies this.
