A doctor at the Gaza Strip's Al Shifa hospital said on Friday that food and water were running out and that supplies provided by the Israeli military were "very, very minimal".

Doctor Ahmed El Mokhallalati told Reuters by telephone that Israeli forces were pressing on with searches of the hospital complex, but had "found nothing". He also said no babies at the hospital had died since Israeli troops entered it.

Israel says Hamas has a command centre underneath the hospital, an assertion the Palestinian militant group denies. Reuters has been unable to verify the situation at the hospital independently.
