while the Israeli military said it had arrested hundreds of militants at the hospital, including some posing as doctors.
Israeli forces also said they found medications with the names of Israeli hostages on them inside the hospital, releasing a video of soldiers showing medicine boxes with inscriptions and sometimes photos on the labels of who they apparently were prescribed to.
The eyewitness spoke to CNN in a rare telephone interview from the area of Nasser hospital, where there are few ways to communicate with the outside world.
The source said that when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) took control of the hospital last week, they broadcast a message saying: “Doctors, come outside.”
When the medics came out and were ordered to take off their clothes, they protested because of the frigid conditions.
“Take off your clothing,” the witness said the doctors were told.
The doctors then removed their clothes in the cold and were kept outside for several hours before the Israeli troops chose five doctors to return to the complex to take care of patients. The eyewitness does not know what happened to the other doctors.
That left five doctors to treat around 150 patients in the old building of the compound, said the eyewitness.
The eyewitness, who has been inside the hospital, asked not to be named for fear of retribution.
The eyewitness said the hospital had no electricity and that patients were dying every day due to the Israeli blockade of the hospital.
