Canadian-Palestinian nurse shows death and destruction caused by Israeli siege of al-Shifa hospital

“Everywhere you go, you’re able to find dead bodies.” Ahmed Kouta, a Canadian-Palestinian man who worked in Gaza as a nurse, walked through the ruins of al-Shifa hospital on Monday after Israeli forces withdrew from the medical complex following a siege that lasted over two weeks. In the footage, he shows how departments have been left unrecognisable and that corpses and pieces of dead bodies can be found everywhere. Israeli military officials said on Monday that its forces killed 200 people and arrested 900 during its 15-day military assault on the hospital. Gaza’s civil defence put the figure of those killed at around 300. The army said it conducted the raid without harming civilians or medical personnel, but medical organisations and eyewitnesses have strongly rejected the claim.
