GAZA STRIP, Palestinian Territories: Heavy fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas trapped thousands of people in Gaza's hospitals on Sunday, as medics and aid workers warned patients will die in the crippled facilities unless there is a pause in the battle.

Bright flares lit up the night sky over Gaza City and blasts echoed across the city as Israel's air and ground campaign to destroy Hamas brought the fight to key medical installations.
