The director of Gaza’s biggest hospital has said that 179 people, including babies and patients who died in the intensive care unit, have been buried in a “mass grave” at the complex.

“We were forced to bury them in a mass grave,” said Al-Shifa Hospital director Mohammad Abu Salmiyah, adding that seven babies and 29 intensive care patients were among those buried after the hospital’s fuel supplies ran out.
