00:00 night in the Gaza Strip, which means another night of fear for the Palestinians.

00:04 Israel continues to shield Palestine with white phosphorus and internationally banned

00:10 weapons.

00:11 From Gaza, our correspondent Noura Harrison update us on the situation there.

00:16 When the daylight is gone it means another horrific night for the people of Gaza.

00:21 The people here are afraid of the night.

00:24 Why?

00:25 Because several reasons.

00:26 First of all, the Israeli warplanes intensifies its bombardment and airstrikes on the Gaza

00:31 Strip during the night.

00:33 Secondly, they shower the Gaza Strip with phosphor bombs, especially at night.

00:39 Phosphor bombs are known for their very strong smell, very much like several tear gas bombs.

00:47 These bombs actually offer the Israeli warplanes good lightning in the Gaza Strip, especially

00:52 that there is no electricity here in Gaza.

00:56 At the same time, the fireball from the white phosphor bombs can easily set fire to any

01:02 home it lands on.

01:05 For now and over the past hours, the Israeli warplanes have been striking Palestinian residential

01:12 homes also around the Andoni Sin Hospital in northern Gaza, around the Al-Quds Hospital

01:18 in Tal El Hawa neighborhood in central Gaza.

01:21 And actually, the last time we talked to a paramedic that came from Al-Quds Hospital

01:27 this morning, he said that now all the roads, all the streets towards the Al-Quds Hospital

01:33 are now totally closed, which means that there is more than 14,000 people who fled their

01:40 homes and now they are taking shelter inside the Al-Quds Hospital.

01:44 Adding to this number, around 400 people of patients that are staying inside the Al-Quds

01:50 Hospital, these people are now disconnected from the Gaza Strip.

01:54 The food and the water they have would barely last for two days.

01:58 However, they refused to evacuate the hospital.

02:03 The doctors, the nurses, even the patients and the people who are taking shelter, they

02:07 are refusing to leave the hospital.
