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.”

>> They play the western media with babies dying and the media sucks it up.
Yeah, same western media that celebrated babykilling Ohio Prop 1.
No shame.
IDF delivered 80 gallons of fuel to the hospital. Hamas fighters stole it.
Palestinian Health Ministry, which said at least 35 babies born prematurely face possible “death at any moment.”
I bet they won’t be losing their HEADS like Israeli babies did.
Hamas elections have consequences.
So the fertility rate there drops to 5.8 from 5.9, still 3 times or more than what it is in the West...
BINGO....and on those that ELECTED hamas a$$hats
Why don’t the doctors check the hospital’s basement[s] for vermin and them muck it out?
They will when they grow up to be Hamas suicide bombers.
Then let them go, you monsters. If they die, it’s on YOU!
4 traitors writing this means 4 times the lies.
Don’t care.
Can’t make me.
L
The western abortionist baby killers should be celebrating this.... Bueller? Bueller???
This part of the world is just essentially hopeless. The dumpster fire continues to burn ...and it always will.
Maybe Hamas should have thought of that before starting this sh!t. Remind me again who it was who was killing babies on the Israeli side.
Yes, sorry for the babies, IF the story has an ounce of truth.
When someone asked my dad where he was born, he’d say “upstairs in the front room”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep, me too. By the light of a kerosene lamp. An actual doctor did have time to come to the house to deliver me though. Fee $35.
Yours are not good arguments. Before we had the high level of health we are blessed to have now, babies died often and frequently.
The articles describe the babies as being prematurely born. One hundred years ago few of those babies would have survived as long as they have: in the 1920s, infant mortality was 184 per 1000; today in is 7 per 1000.
And in the early 1800s infant mortality was 450 per 100: almost half.
Yes, skepticism of Hamas claims is good: they lie like crazy and manipulate the media continually, but use good arguments!
Humanitarian NBC not so much for the decapitated children by the savages
they voted for this.
Hamas DID expect Isr aelto retaliate.
They then get to say “look at what they are doing to us poor innocent ones” and then play the victim card.
There are different “theys”
Hamas didn’t allow and didn’t do this as they want more victims to show to the world’s TV cameras
About the doctors, let’s give them the benefit of doubt and assume that they had no say and no ability to get people out.
