Stockshots of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, where Palestinian militants have a command centre, according to a statement released by the White House. The US statement, which backs up a key Israeli justification for its military moves, comes as pressure ramps up on Israel over its blockade of the sprawling Al-Shifa compound, where doctors say patients and people seeking shelter are stranded in horrific conditions. Gaza's main hospital has been forced to bury dozens of dead patients in a mass grave, its director has said, while thousands of Palestinians were trapped inside by fierce combat. STOCKSHOTS
