WHO says two northern Gaza hospitals resupplied after nine attempts

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said a WHO-Palestine Red Crescent operation managed to resupply two hospitals in northern Gaza.

“WHO and partners finally managed to reach Kamal Adwan and Al-Sahaba hospitals yesterday after 9 attempts this past week,” he posted on X late on Sunday. “The missions were completed amid ongoing hostilities,” he added.


He said drivers had been subjected to “humiliating security screening” and temporarily detained at a checkpoint, “which is unacceptable”.


Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure

For a year, the Israeli military has targeted civilian infrastructure in Gaza, claiming to have destroyed a Hamas “command and control centre” each time it strikes a hospital, school or displacement shelter.

The Israeli military is now attacking the same kinds of buildings in Lebanon, calling it “terrorist infrastructure”.

Separate data from Action on Armed Violence up to 23 September shows that Israel hit civilian infrastructure across Gaza with explosive weapons once every three hours on average since the war began.

Bombed school to have been used as polio vaccination site: UNWRA

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says an Israeli attack on one of its schools sheltering displaced families in central Gaza’s Nuseirat was to be used as a polio vaccination site.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said 22 were killed and 80 wounded in the Nuseirat attack.

The UN agency also condemned Israel’s overnight attack on Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Deir el-Balah that inflicted dozens of casualties when a major fire erupted in a tent encampment.

Israeli drones wound 13 Palestinians in Jabalia camp

The civil defence agency says the attack was carried out by Israeli “quadcopters” around al-Fouqa School, which houses displaced people, in the refugee camp in northern Gaza.

A statement on Telegram said rescuers transferred the wounded to the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya.

Israel has carried out a large-scale military incursion in northern Gaza for the past 10 days, mainly against the Jabalia refugee camp.


At least 62 Palestinians killed in Gaza over the past day

Israeli attacks across the enclave also wounded 220 people, according to a statement by Gaza’s Health Ministry. At least 42,289 Palestinians have been killed and 98,684 injured in Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, it added.

The death toll from Israel’s yearlong war on Gaza is likely far higher with thousands of bodies buried in the rubble of the vast destruction throughout the Palestinian territory.
