Doctors and nurses at al-Shifa Hospital are treating thousands of Palestinians after brutal air raids by "Israel" showered Gaza.

The Israeli aggression has left the Beit Hanoun hospital inoperable and has damaged the newborn section at al-Shifa Hospital.

The Palestinian Health Ministry warned of a "catastrophic situation" after 900 Palestinians have been martyred and 4,500 have been wounded.

In the West Bank, there were 18 martyrs, including four children, with 100 Palestinians injured due to confrontations with Israeli forces.

Three journalists, Saeed al-Taweel, Mohammad Sobh, and Hisham al-Nawajha, among others, were martyred in a strike on Monday night. They were killed while reporting on the ground in western Gaza.

An infant, Abd al-Rahman al-Dos, was wounded in an airstrike that killed 17 people including his 4-year-old relative.

The doctor treating al-Dos reported that he needed "emergency surgery for his head injury, but must wait until an operation room is available."

Not only does al-Dos require an operation room but sufficient electricity before doctors can attempt any surgeries.

"We have a list with many names of wounded patients waiting their turn. Some of them lost their lives due to a lack of resources."

Al-Dos' case is only one of hundreds among Palestinians awaiting treatment.

Emergency room doctor Mohammed Ghonim told AFP that most casualties arriving at the hospitals were mostly women and children, while medical supplies like oxygen tanks were running low, in addition to the electricity and water crisis. 

UN slams Israeli siege on Gaza as violation of international law

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk called on the global community to defuse the "explosive powder keg" situation in Palestine.

According to intelligence received by his office, Israeli airstrikes have damaged residential towers in Gaza City and other residential structures throughout Gaza, as well as schools and UNRWA grounds, resulting in civilian fatalities.

In yet another war crime, Israeli occupation forces targeted journalists who were covering its aggression on Gaza.

In response to the announcement made by the Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant, ordering a full siege of the city, Omar Shakir, Human Rights Watch "Israel" and Palestine Director for Human Rights, posted on X that depriving a population of food and electricity is "collective punishment" and that this is the Israeli occupation's method of utilizing starvation as a weapon of war. 

According to the Israeli Energy Minister Israel Katz, all the water supply from "Israel" to Gaza has been cut off. 

Gallant, as quoted by GLZ Radio, has ordered to cut off electricity, water, and food from Gaza in the aftermath of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

He revealed the occupation's true face by referring to the Palestinians in Gaza as "human animals," whom he will have to deal with "accordingly".
