Storyline:
The Israel-Hamas conflict has been ongoing for six months, Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital has turned into ruins and unable to any provide medical services.

Israeli forces withdrew from the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza after two weeks of military operations, leaving most buildings destroyed and countless deaths in the compound.

This is the second time the Israeli army has raided the medical complex since the conflict began on Oct. 7 last year. The first raid occurred on Nov. 16 and lasted approximately 8 days, resulting in the destruction of parts of its buildings and courtyards.

The damage to the hospital escalated the humanitarian disaster because the locals had greatly relied on it. Patients in north Gaza Strip are suffering hunger and dehydration. Around a dozen of people have died from the famine.

The Israeli army also launched a brief military operation in the southwest of Gaza City on Sunday.

The Palestinian death toll in Israeli attacks has risen to 33,175, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Sunday.
