Dr Ahmed Al Mandhari from the World Health Organisation tells us about the evacuation of premature babies from Gaza’s largest hospital, al-Shifa.
Most of the patients and medical staff have had to leave al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, as the situation there deteriorates. An international team of health and humanitarian workers - led by the World Health Organisation - was able to make a short visit to the hospital, Dr Ahmed Al Mandhari, who's WHO regional director, speaks to Newshour about what they found.
