At least 7 aid seekers killed by Israeli gunfire as attacks continue
Sources at al-Shifa Hospital tell Al Jazeera that seven Palestinians were killed and others injured while waiting for aid after Israeli troops opened fire near the Netzarim Corridor.

The cafe doubled as a shelter for war-displaced Palestinians and was also used by activists and journalists because of its wi-fi facility.
“The Israeli occupation bombed this place with its fighter jets. We found people torn apart,” survivor Yahya Sharif told Al Jazeera. “This place wasn’t affiliated with anyone, no politics and not a military association whatsoever. It was packed with people, including children [there] for a birthday party.”
‘Hundreds face death’: Al-Shifa Hospital halts services
The director of Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza has spoken to Al Jazeera about the dire situation at the Gaza City health facility. Dr Muhammad Abu Salmiya said after running out of fuel the hospital suspended dialysis treatment, putting the lives of 350 patients at risk.
“At 12pm [10:00 GMT] our generators will stop and hundreds of patients could face death,” Abu Salmiya said. “Unfortunately, we have no options left to address the fuel shortage and will be forced to suspend our services.”
Al-Shifa was Gaza’s largest hospital before it was largely reduced to rubble by Israeli bombardment during the early months of the war. Israeli forces arrested and held Abu Salmiya in prison for seven months, accusing Hamas of using the medical facility as a military base.
