Rescue teams unable to reach areas under Israeli attack

Civil defence first responders are unable to reach sites of Israeli attacks as they continue to be targeted while trying to rescue the wounded.

Thousands of Palestinians are still trapped under the rubble. At least 11,000 Palestinians are missing, and we’re talking about more than 1,600 families that have been completely wiped out.

We do not know if the missing are trapped under the rubble, if they were killed, no one was able to reach them, or if they were arrested or kidnapped by Israeli forces.

After talking to rescue teams, they say they’re unable to go into bombed homes because they are short of staff, there’s a very limited number of emergency vehicles, and they’re prevented by relentless Israeli army strikes.


Gaza’s al-Awda Hospital ‘critically low on fuel’: WHO

The World Health Organization has said that al-Awda Hospital, the last functioning hospital in north Gaza, is overwhelmed with patients and critically low on fuel and essential medical supplies.

The UN health agency also said it has been working to access the hospital to resupply it and assess the situation at the non-functional Kamal Adwan Hospital. However, damaged roads and insufficient facilitation have made safe access impossible, it said.

“We urgently call for immediate action to make roads passable and to facilitate access to sustain Al-Awda Hospital and keep it operational,” the agency said.


Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital under heavy gunfire amid Israeli siege

Rawaya Tanboura, a nurse at the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya town, has told Al Jazeera that the medical compound has been the “direct target” of heavy gunfire from the Israeli army and its quadcopters, amid a severe shortage of basic supplies.

“The whole situation is very scary. We don’t even have a drop of water since Wednesday and we use saline solutions to give the patients something to drink,” Tanboura said.

“Sometimes we use the saline solutions for some other personal purposes due to the total lack of water in the hospital. This is a real catastrophe inside the hospital,” she added.
