Thirty-eight days of genocide committed by the Israeli occupation against the people of the Gaza Strip, it seems that it was not enough, in the eyes of the so-called international community, to activate some of its claimed humanity, especially after it came to threatening hospitals, which house tens of thousands of patients and the deprived.

What remains in service is the simplest element of resilience, as a result of preventing the entry of fuel into the Gaza Strip.
This comes in light of the Israeli escalation against hospitals in Gaza Strip, targeting and besieging them.
The dire situation has not only resulted in the inability to treat wounded individuals but has also led to the tragic death of children due to a power outage.

The number of martyrs in Gaza rose to 11,180, including 4,609 children and 3,100 women, according to what the government media office in the besieged Strip confirmed after more than a month of war on Gaza.
Nasser Camp Hospital in Khan Yunis recently received a number of wounded individuals as a result of Israeli occupation bombings in a nearby cemetery.
This hospital, along with others in the area, continues to be targeted by the occupation forces. Currently, there are 39 premature infants at Nasser Camp Hospital who are at risk of losing their lives within the next 24 hours.
The catastrophic conditions in the hospitals are further exacerbated by the lack of all services, putting the lives of hundreds of wounded individuals in jeopardy. Additionally, dozens of bodies of martyrs are located outside Al-Nasser Hospital, but they cannot be approached due to the relentless bombings.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that Israeli vehicles and tanks have surrounded Al-Quds Hospital from all sides, with continuous sounds of shelling echoing in the area. These devastating attacks on medical facilities occur at a time when civilians continue to be targeted by the occupation forces. This morning, a house in Bani Suhaila, located east of Khan Yunis, was bombed, resulting in the deaths of two children, who were discovered buried under the rubble of a house in the town of Al-Qarara.
Adding to the already grim situation, a power outage at Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest healthcare institution in the Gaza Strip, has led to the death of premature infants and critically ill patients.

Yousef Abu Al-Rish, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, shared the devastating news that six premature infants and nine individuals in the intensive care unit have passed away due to the power outage. Al-Shifa Hospital has been under constant Israeli siege and bombardment.
The dire toll has left many displaced individuals seeking refuge in Al-Shifa Hospital, where thousands have taken shelter.
Earlier, on Sunday evening, Abu Al-Rish announced the death of five premature babies and seven sick individuals. The hospital recently revealed that 39 premature babies were still under their care. Furthermore, a doctor from Doctors Without Borders reported that a staggering 17 patients were in the intensive care unit, awaiting vital treatment.
As the Israeli incursion into the western strip of Gaza City intensifies and hospitals fall further into siege, the battle for survival continues for the fifth consecutive week. The Al-Aqsa flood battle, which has seen a relentless exchange of attacks, has resulted in an overwhelming loss of life and destruction for the people of Gaza.
