Raed al-Nims, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, the Palestinian branch of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent, told Al Jazeera: 'The situation is dire. The medical staff, some of them were killed, others tortured, others detained and, above all, they have been besieged for two weeks without any medical supplies or even food or water.'
