The number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip has risen to 11,180 martyrs, including 4,609 children, according to the spokesperson for the Palestinian government's media office in Gaza.

The spokesperson revealed an increase in the number of hospitals and medical centers that have been put out of service to 22 and 49 respectively.

Israeli airstrikes targeted al-Shifa Medical Complex's intensive care unit, pediatrics section, and surgery section, according to the official. Several children and infants have also died in the hospital due to the lack of supplies, which have been cut off after the Israeli occupation blockaded the complex.

Israeli warplanes and artillery units have also completely destroyed 70 mosques in the Gaza Strip and 3 churches, while 153 mosques were partially damaged due to deliberate targeting.

Earlier the Ministry of Health in Gaza had revealed that 12 patients died in al-Shifa Hospital fuel ran out from the complex's generators, leading to a persisting power cut.

On his part, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, said that 3 premature babies died in the hospital.

Al-Qudra also revealed that oxygen supplies had been cut off from the hospital, due to the occupation's bombing of oxygen tankers that provide the hospital with the needed supplies.

WHO says 137 attacks on hospitals took 521 lives

On their part, the World Health Organization (WHO), UN Children's Fund, and the UN Population Fund reported that over the last 36 days, there were a total of 137 attacks on healthcare facilities in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 521 fatalities.

"Over the past 36 days, WHO has recorded at least 137 attacks on health care in Gaza, resulting in 521 deaths and 686 injuries, including 16 deaths and 38 injuries of health workers on duty," the statement read.

"More than half of the hospitals in the Gaza Strip are closed. Those still functioning are under massive strain and can only provide very limited emergency services, lifesaving surgery, and intensive care services," the statement added, noting that water, food, and fuel shortages are increasingly posing a security threat to "the wellbeing of thousands of displaced people, including women and children, who are sheltering in hospitals and their surrounds."

Hamas halts negotiations citing al-Shifa attacks

In a similar context, negotiations concerning the release of captives were halted by Hamas due to "Israel's" continued attacks on al-Shifa hospital, according to Reuters, citing an unnamed Palestinian official.

Earlier this week, indirect negotiations were underway between the Israeli occupation officials and Palestinian officials, according to The New York Times. The talks involved two proposals regarding the release of captives from the Gaza Strip, one of which included potentially releasing 100 or more non-military captives.

However, soon after, the hospital housing thousands of displaced Palestinians was bombed multiple times by Israeli occupation forces. 

The IOF denied surrounding or targeting hospitals but several videos circulating on social media have shown otherwise, as well as a statement from Doctors Without Borders, in which the organization revealed that it had lost contact with its staffers who were transferred to al-Shifa earlier on.
