Israeli army again targets Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza

A series of Israeli air strikes targeted the vicinity of the destroyed Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza. Two more public hospitals in the northern Gaza governorate were taken out of service from Israeli attacks, Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Saturday.

Meanwhile, local sources said Israeli tanks also bombed the southern area of the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood in Gaza City. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Last week, a UN report said Israeli strikes targeting hospitals and their surroundings in the Gaza Strip have pushed the territory’s healthcare system “to the brink of total collapse with catastrophic effect on Palestinians’ access to health and medical care”.


Palestinians in Gaza City search for the missing after Israeli attack

People are still searching for any survivors after an Israeli attack on the Sheikh Rawan neighbourhood in northern Gaza City.

Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili, reporting from the scene, says four Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in Israeli air raids on Monday as their siege and bombardment that began in October continues.

Residents could be seen removing debris using their bare hands to find any survivors or bodies.

“There are many people still missing under the rubble. Palestinians are trying to dig to rescue the trapped civilians from under the destroyed building,” said al-Khalili.

Israel’s military has repeatedly targeted first responders.

“The situation is becoming much more catastrophic in light of these brutal attacks on civilians on a daily basis at midnight without any warning. It’s an ongoing tragedy in the Gaza Strip,” al-Khalili said.


Gaza death toll rises

Israel has killed at least 45,885 Palestinians and injured 109,196 others in Gaza since October 7, 2023, according to the besieged enclave’s Health Ministry. At least 31 people have been killed in the past 24 hours, it added.


Gaza hospitals face ‘real disaster’ due to fuel shortage: Ministry

Gaza’s Health Ministry has warned of “a real disaster” as none of the remaining operational health facilities in the enclave has any fuel stock left, “threatening hospitals, oxygen stations, medicine refrigerators, and nurseries”.

“The [Israeli] occupation forces aid convoys, including fuel trucks, to take roads filled with thieves and bandits to steal them under its protection,” the ministry said, adding that the latest shipment of fuel was stolen yesterday as it was on its way to hospitals.

“We reiterate our appeal to all concerned international and humanitarian institutions to urgently intervene to provide and secure fuel to operate generators in hospitals and health centres in the Gaza Strip,” the ministry added.


UN staffer describes despair among aid workers in Gaza

I have spent a total of four years in Gaza, six months of them during the ongoing war. I have never felt so helpless in the face of the formidable war machine that shoves a new bullet into its gun as soon as it has fired the previous one, while having a seemingly unlimited supply of ammunition.

In September, I spoke to a matriarch who ran a shelter for displaced people in Khan Younis. I asked her what hope she had about the prospect of peace. She pointed at a small girl holding her mother’s hand and sucking her thumb.

“Her father was killed when their house was bombed five days ago, and they’ve not been able to retrieve his body from the rubble because the area is under constant fire,” she said. “What hope?”
