staff, large numbers of displaced people are sheltering in the hospital. dr nick maynard has worked at al shifa hospital for many years. he s trained medics in gaza and was carrying out surgeries at al shifa as recently as may. he says patients who leave the hospital are unlikely to survive and described how people at the hospital said the idf were treating people there. well, they certainly do not describe the israeli defence force assisting the evacuations. i ve been watching al jazeera this morning. i ve also been in direct contact with a gazan doctor who herself is in contact with people there and they are working under the most appallingly hostile conditions, the patients that are being evacuated. it s almost inconceivable to me that they will survive. this notion that they re going to be evacuated to a safe area is a ludicrous notion. if you ask me, the roads are almost impassable. there are no functioning hospitals in gaza at the moment. the only hospital that was func ....

hello and thank you forjoining me for another edition of unspun world, where we find out from the bbc s unmatched team of correspondents and broadcasters what s really going on in the world. israeli forces are encircling gaza s hospitals, but what s their basic strategy? the israeli army can probably go in and patrol the shattered streets of the gaza strip for some indefinite period. but what then? who is actually going to rule gaza? the us and china why are the chinese noticeably less antagonistic than they used to be? the united states is china s biggest threat, but it s also china s biggest customer, and they really need to do some good customer relations at the moment. and can spain s interim prime minister stave off catalan independence? he s doing this because it will reduce those tensions that catalonia has been seeing, really, over the last decade. western support for israel s war against hamas in gaza has been tested as never before by the bombardment and sea ....
