"Israel" is deliberately prolonging the fuel crisis, crippling hospital operations and threatening the functioning of surgical units and life-support equipment for patients and children, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza warned on Monday.
The Ministry said hospitals are “at risk of shutting down completely” as long as fuel continues to be withheld, noting that many displacement tents have also flooded due to heavy rain.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian man was killed by Israeli fire east of Gaza City’s al-Zaytoun neighborhood, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent. The man was reportedly shot by an Israeli quadcopter drone, part of what reporters describe as an ongoing pattern of direct targeting inside residential areas.
Israeli artillery also shelled areas east of Rafah in southern Gaza, while three airstrikes hit eastern Khan Younis, causing further destruction in the city’s eastern districts, the correspondent said, while warplanes continued bombing targets east of Rafah as well.
The escalation extended to central Gaza, where Israeli artillery targeted the eastern outskirts of the al-Maghazi refugee camp.
Death toll keeps climbing in Gaza
The death toll in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 70,000 since October 7, 2023, amid relentless Israeli aggression, the Health Ministry in Gaza reported on Saturday. Nearly 171,000 people have been injured during the same period.
"The death toll from Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, has risen to 70,112, with 170,986 people injured," the Ministry said in a statement.
In 24 hours alone, nine martyrs extracted from under the rubble and a wounded individual were brought to hospitals across Gaza, the Ministry noted. Despite the ceasefire agreement that went into effect on October 10, violence has persisted. Since the truce began, 356 Palestinians have been killed, 616 martyrs have been extracted from under the rubble, and over 909 others have been injured.
Hamas urges global action as 'Israel' violates ceasefire
The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has called for intensified global mobilization against the Israeli occupation and its ongoing violations, coinciding with the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, marked each year on November 29.
In a statement, the movement said this year’s occasion comes nearly fifty days after the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip. Hamas stressed that the Israeli occupation continues to undermine the truce “deliberately and brazenly” through artillery and airstrikes, field assassinations, and the ongoing ban on the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.
Hamas accused the occupation government of escalating aggression, settlement expansion, and Judaization policies in the occupied West Bank and al-Quds, calling it a blatant violation of international law and UN resolutions, and warning that the absence of accountability encourages further “terrorism, arrogance, and criminal schemes.”
The movement reaffirmed that “the land of Palestine, with al-Quds and the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque at its heart,” remains “Arab Palestinian land, where the usurping Zionist occupation has no legitimacy and no sovereignty.”
