TEL AVIV — Newborns and other patients at Gaza’s largest hospital are dying as power fails and resources run out, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, which said at least 35 babies born prematurely face possible “death at any moment.”
Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City has been “out of service” since Saturday morning, according to the ministry, as heavy bombardment and intense fighting outside the complex cause power outages amid a fuel shortage.
The challenges for Gaza’s hospitals continue to mount: As fighting has intensified, ambulances have come under fire, power is going out, and dead bodies have piled up in an overwhelming surge of patients.
The majority of the enclave’s hospitals are out of service, according to the Palestinian health minister. Al-Quds hospital in Gaza City joined the list Sunday, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said, and it is no longer operational.
The Israel Defense Forces announced Sunday that it would open evacuation routes from Al-Shifa and two other hospitals in Gaza City: Al-Rantisi and Al-Nasr. In a statement, the IDF said soldiers “opened and secured a passage which enables the civilian population to evacuate, on foot and by ambulances” from the three facilities.
In recent days, doctors at Al-Shifa have reported sounds of bombardment and fighting around the facility. Speaking by phone Saturday, Abusada said the people inside were terrified.
“It’s horrifying for the patients and for the staff and for all the people who are in Shifa,” he said.
A large blast could be heard over the phone. “Do you hear the bombardment? Do you hear that?” Abusada said. “Every minute we hear like that, so it is horrifying.”

Womp womp.
You think Gazan apes are smart enough for that?
The babies chose a bad time to be birthed
They make it sound like all the babies are dying.
If you want to know what the right side of any issue is, just listen to idiots like Macron and then go with whatever he opposes.
HOW about 8.2 ???
And if you have a group of premies who are relying on life support and you viciously attack the nation which provides your electricity and water, it might happen that all the babies die.
I hate to be so harsh, but countering this “news” with an absurdly untrue statement is so unhelpful to anything.
“HOW about 8.2 ???”
No doubt you’re right. I just threw out a number...point is that they don’t care if having kids “cramps their style”, interferes with their plans to “break through the ‘glass ceiling’” so as to “climb the corporate ladder”, or just “too damn expensive” to have more than one ‘trophy’ child. That bunch fully understands that Demographics is Destiny and whoever is the most productive WILL win in the long term...unless we fight back, that is.
Just pop ‘em in the oven, ham ass style.
Don’t forget to baste!
