Situation in Gaza Strip deteriorating by the hour, says Gaza City reporter

The situation in the Gaza Strip is deteriorating by the hour, reported Al Jazeera's correspondent, Hani Mahmoud.

He said that "heavy artillery fire" was ongoing in the eastern part of Gaza City, along with systematic demolition of homes in the city’s Shujaiya and Zeitoun neighbourhoods that have been ongoing for the last 10 days. 

He added that doctors were unable to deal with the number of people being injured in Israeli attacks on Monday and the severity of the attacks. He said the "acute shortage of medical supplies" meant that more people were likely to die from their injuries. "We have a crippled healthcare system that cannot provide proper medical care."

Shifa hospital was the largest medical complex in the city before it was largely decimated by Israeli attacks in the war on Gaza.
