CNN has also reported that three infants in the premature unit have died. – The fact that they can no longer be in the incubators means that they are very vulnerable to cooling and lack of oxygen.

Gilbert says he also has the information from the chief surgeon Marwan Abu Sada at Al-Shifa Hospital. – We are trying to save them Spokesman for the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al Qudra, has been to the Al-Shifa hospital.

A representative from the Israeli Ministry of Defense claims that Israeli forces are not firing at the Al-Shifa hospital, but that there are battles with Hamas around the hospital. He also claims that it is possible to get out of the hospital safely on the east side. It is Colonel Moshe Tetro, who belongs to a unit called COGAT, which is under the Ministry of Defense, who states this, according to Reuters. Terrible reports The World Health Organization (WHO) has sounded the full alarm about the situation at Al-Shifa Hospital. – We are very concerned about the safety of the health personnel, of hundreds of sick and injured patients, including babies in incubators, and of internally displaced persons who are at the hospital, says an announcement from WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. – There are terrible reports that the hospital is exposed to repeated attacks, he adds. The Israeli army denies that its forces have surrounded and attacked the Al-Shifa hospital, but demands that it be emptied of people because it is in a conflict zone. Command center Israel claims Hamas has a command center under the hospital, which is rejected both by Hamas, the hospital’s management and foreign doctors, including Mads Gilbert. Israel claims to have shared evidence with allied countries, but none of them have vouched for the claim. The same applies to Israel’s claim that Hamas is holding some of the Israeli hostages trapped in tunnels under the hospital. Israel claimed earlier this week that it has evidence of Hamas tunnels under hospitals.
