According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, the Israeli occupation forces have targeted an ambulance convoy departing from Al-Shifa Hospital heading to the Rafah border crossing. 

Ashraf al-Qudra, the Health Ministry Spokesperson, stated that the Red Cross was informed about the moving of the convoy in accordance with international law.

Al-Qudra maintained that the IOF targeted the convoy "at the gate of the hospital and then at the Ansar square, the occupation targeted the convoy in more than one location outside Al-Shifa hospital."

Palestinian media earlier reported that the strike led to dozens killed and injured.

While the Israeli forces claim that they targeted a vehicle used by a Hamas cell, close to a battle zone, footage from the scene of the massacre proves that these "operatives" were mainly children.

In this context, Hamas issued a statement condemning the ongoing Israeli crimes and slamming the "Israeli occupation’s massacres against the three hospitals of Al-Shifa, Al-Quds, and The Indonesian" as "heinous crimes for which we hold the US and Western capitals responsible."

Calling the crime heinous and premeditated, the statement revealed that dozens of people were killed and injured and many ambulances were damaged.

This, according to Hamas, reveals that there is an "Israeli Nazi plan to fully devastate the medical sector in the already blockaded Gaza Strip."

"We hold the US and the international community responsible for these massacres due to the shameful silence of the US and its open support for the terror of the Nazi-Zionist occupation," the statement stressed, warning against more massacres targeting civilians and medical facilities.

The IOF have previously targeted ambulances, as well as hospitals, committing numerous massacres against the people of Gaza, with a death toll that has surpassed 9,000. 

Yesterday, Al-Shifa Hospital Director expressed that electricity has been cut off in some sections of the hospital due to fuel depletion. 

Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in "Tel Aviv", various Israeli media outlets quickly reported, citing Netanyahu's office or sources within it, that the decision to deny the entry of fuel into the Gaza Strip remains unchanged.

Electricity, clean water, and fuel have all run out, and there are no medical supplies or lifesaving treatments. Dozens of hospitals and medical centers have been shut down, meaning that patients have to be transferred to the remaining hospitals, which are already overcrowded.

The World Health Organization said on Thursday that it was nearly impossible to transfer medical supplies to hospitals and criticized the absence of safety guarantees for sending humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

According to the WHO, the Palestinian enclave's health requirements were increasing at a time when its capacity to provide them was decreasing.

Over the previous two weeks, the UN health agency has been able to get 54 metric tonnes of humanitarian aid into the region, but they announced that this would not even come close to meeting the extent of the need.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated in a press conference that the organization will do all it can to ensure people in Gaza can access the life-saving services, adding that the current situation makes it "almost impossible".
