Hello everyone and welcome to Amampur. Here's what's coming up.

Carnage in Gaza cannot continue. That's a new warning from the UN as Israeli forces take control of

Gaza's largest hospital. Then I speak to US Senator Chris Murphy who says the

Gaza's main hospital where thousands of civilians have been sheltering. Once a vital

Doctors say the hospital's main building has effectively ceased functioning and that the situation inside is catastrophic.

Israel claims to be conducting a targeted operation against Hamas, a command

center underneath the hospital. The medical officials and Hamas have both

appalled by the scenes and that hospitals are not battlegrounds.

They are searching employees, civilians, even the injured and patients.

Some were stripped and placed in dehumanizing and miserable conditions.
