US President Joe Biden says Gaza hospitals 'must be protected'
President Biden has said the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City ''must be protected'' and that he hopes there will be "less intrusive action" there.
The US president Joe Biden has come out to urge better protection of the Al-Shifa hospital in northern Gaza. The territory's biggest hospital, Al-Shifa, has been described as "nearly a cemetery" by the WHO. More than 11000 people have now died in Gaza and reports indicate that conditions in its hospitals are reaching crisis point.
An Israeli politician says its soldiers are protecting people in Gaza and Hamas is using hospitals as terror bases to launch rockets.
