Source? Everything I’ve read suggests that this is not a simple resource issue that has been remedied and that the WHO did not “choose” to shut down the hospital but instead was begged by doctors and patients to evacuate them.

Fair enough. I guess I didn't know every fact about the WHO. The WHO was also clearly taking facts from Hamas too. Especially as they relate to the deaths that occurred in the hospital and the situation that brought about those deaths. I honestly don't see how Israel giving the WHO full access to the hospitals strengthens the case that Israel is responsible for the damage there.

Lack of clean water, fuel, medicines, food and other essential aid over the last 6 weeks have caused Al-Shifa Hospital – once the largest, most advanced and best equipped referral hospital in Gaza – to essentially stop functioning as a medical facility.

WHO is deeply concerned about the safety and health needs of patients, health workers and internally displaced people sheltering at the few remaining partially functional hospitals in the north, which are facing the risk of closure due to a lack of fuel, water, medical supplies and food, and the intense hostilities. Immediate efforts must be made to restore the functionality of Al-Shifa and all other hospitals to provide urgently needed health services in Gaza.

I'm not seeing anything about the hospital being closed due to actual damage to the hospital, just shortages while under Hamas' control.
