Hundreds of patients, including dozens of babies, have been trapped inside Gaza's largest hospital as Israeli troops and Hamas militants are fighting outside.

Claims of airstrikes have seen finger pointing from both sides, there are claims that Hamas is using it as a headquarters, and now, those trying to treat the sick, injured, pregnant and dying are struggling to do so without access to basic supplies.
