Dr. Iyad al-Jabari, the medical director of Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza, described the situation as "catastrophic, with significant challenges." He mentioned that the hospital has reached full capacity and fuel is sufficient for one day only, emphasizing the fact that there is no safe place to evacuate patients, wounded individuals, and children.

The Director-General of Hospitals in the Gaza Strip, Mohammed Zaqout, held a press conference confirming the challenging conditions at Al-Shifa Medical Complex. He criticized Israeli claims about fuel availability, stating that the supplied quantity was only sufficient for one hour.

On his account, Deputy Minister of Health in Gaza, Youssef Abu al-Rish, announced the tragic killing of six premature babies and nine patients in the intensive care unit at Al-Shifa Medical Complex due to interrupted electricity.

Gazans can't bury their dead

Earlier in the day, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that several injured Palestinians, including women and children, had been brought to Al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis due to the Israeli occupation's shelling of a cemetery.

They further reported non-stop bombardment on the besieged hospital and highlighted that 39 premature infants face the risk of death in the hospital within 24 hours.

In further detail, Dr. Medhat Abbas, a director from the Gaza Ministry of Health, informed Al Mayadeen English that premature infants in the largest hospital in Gaza are being swaddled in foil and positioned near warm water as an urgent measure to ensure their survival, while Israeli airstrikes continue in bombarding the nearby streets.

With the last of the fuel reserves depleting, the facility is rendered incapable of operating, Dr. Abbas added.

Footage shared by the Gaza Ministry of Health revealed multiple premature babies, previously removed from their incubators at the hospital, now huddled together and placed in a single bed.

According to the doctor, a number of premature babies were killed in the past day in the intensive care unit and the nursery, as "Israel" persists in its ongoing bombardment and blockade of Gaza.

Staff at Shifa Hospital have shared this photo of their heroic attempts to keep the premature babies alive in an operating theatre after they were forced to shut down the NICU. Taken 6pm today.
