Wounded left to die in Gaza hospitals amid lack of medical supplies

There is an acute shortage of medical supplies and insufficient medical staff. In the emergency department of hospitals, you don’t hear the sound of operating machines because the lack of fuel is causing them to stop operating.

The Health Ministry says 8,000 blood units are urgently needed but people are unable to donate as they are dehydrated and starved.

The al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest, just runs a basic ward, while al-Ahli Hospital is struggling to fill the gap.

The wounded are in urgent need of medical supplies that are not available, including painkillers, but they are left to die in hospitals because there is not much that doctors can do.


UNRWA raises alert over bodies under rubble, patients without treatment in Gaza

The UN agency, which supports six million Palestinian refugees, despite being banned by Israel says “bodies remain under the rubble of destroyed structures and doctors describe how ‘many injured people have died in front of our eyes while we couldn’t treat them'”.

“After the Israeli Forces resumed bombing across the Gaza Strip, hundreds have been reportedly killed, including more than 180 children reportedly killed in one single day,” it said.


Eleven Palestinians killed in Israeli strike on Gaza tent camp

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that 11 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israeli drone strikes on tents housing displaced people, as well as a charity food bank in the centre of the Gaza Strip.


Israel escalates deadly attacks on central Gaza

The Israeli military has launched a series of air strikes on the central areas of the Gaza Strip – in particular in or around Nuseirat refugee camp. We’ve just seen two separate attacks in the densely populated town.

One of the air strikes targeted a community kitchen where Palestinians have lined up since the early hours to get a meal. We understand that five civilians were killed there.

In a separate attack, six Palestinians were killed when an Israeli drone targeted a group of civilians elsewhere in Nuseirat.

But also, in az-Zawayda town, which is only 3km [1.9 miles] from Nuseirat, a group of civilians and a makeshift tent have been targeted. Two women were killed in the strike, and at least four others were wounded and are now receiving treatment in the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah.

They have been critically injured and, according to medical testimonies, are in desperate need of advanced surgery that cannot be performed there.


Israeli forced evacuation orders west of Gaza City suggest expanding ground operation

The Israeli military has passed new forced displacement orders, but this time they are located on the western side of Gaza City, whereas previous forced displacement orders aimed to push civilians out of the northern part of the Strip.

Many families have started to move southwards to cities like Deir el-Balah, Maghazi, Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camp, where shelters are already overcrowded and have been repeatedly targeted by the Israeli military.

The Israeli military is gradually passing more forced evacuation orders and might be preparing to expand its ground operations in Gaza City, which will force thousands of families to leave and move back to areas where they were previously taking refuge.


Israeli forces strike Palestinian home in Deir el-Balah

Footage from the moment an Israeli air strike struck a home in Deir el-Balah has been published by witnesses on social media and verified by Al Jazeera.

The powerful impact is seen, throwing plumes of smoke and debris into the air as locals run for cover.

In the chaotic aftermath, an injured man can be seen clutching his stomach as he leaves the scene of the attack.

In another video, the building that was targeted in the strike can be seen lying in ruins with shattered windows and a collapsed roof.
