This latest milestone reinforces SGH's unwavering commitment to providing top-patient-centred healthcare, while upholding high clinical standards and embracing innovative healthcare solutions.

This achievement is a testament to our dedication to clinical excellence, innovation, and exceptional service. It is not the first time we lead the region with such accomplishments — earlier this year, we were also honoured with having the highest number of top-ranked hospitals in the region in Newsweek's World's Best Hospitals 2025 list. These achievements reflect our strong leadership, our proud Saudi identity, and our alignment with Vision 2030's healthcare transformation goals.'
These recognitions by Newsweek emphasise SGH's role as a pioneer of healthcare excellence in the Kingdom and the wider region.

At Least 46 Palestinians Killed by Israeli Fire, Gaza Hospitals Say, as the War Drags on
Israeli strikes and gunfire in the Gaza Strip killed at least 46 Palestinians overnight into Wednesday morning, most of them among crowds seeking food, local hospitals said. The dead include more than 30 people who were killed while seeking humanitarian aid, according to that treated dozens of wounded people. The Israeli military didn't immediately comment on any of the strikes, but says it only targets fighters and blames civilian deaths on Hamas, because the group's gunmen operate in densely populated areas. The deaths came as the United Kingdom announced that it would recognize a Palestinian state in September, unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, following a similar declaration by France's president. Israel's foreign ministry said that it rejected the British statement. The Shifa hospital in Gaza City said that it received 12 people who were killed Tuesday night when Israeli forces opened fire towards crowds awaiting aid trucks coming from the Zikim crossing in northwestern Gaza. Thirteen others were killed in strikes in the Jabaliya refugee camp, and the northern towns of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, the hospital said. In the southern city of Khan Younis, the Nasser hospital said it received the bodies of 16 people who it says were killed Tuesday evening while waiting for aid trucks close to the newly-built Morag corridor, which separates Khan Younis from the southernmost city of Rafah. The hospital received another body for a man killed in a strike on a tent in Khan Younis, it said. The Awda hospital in the urban Nuseirat refugee camp said that it received the bodies of four Palestinians who it says were killed Wednesday by Israeli fire close to an aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, or GHF, in the Netzarim corridor area, south of the Wadi Gaza. In addition, seven Palestinians, including a child, have died of malnutrition-related causes in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, the territory's health ministry said on Wednesday. A total of 89 children have died of malnutrition since the war began in Gaza. The ministry said that 65 Palestinian adults have also died of malnutrition-related causes across Gaza since late June, when it started counting deaths among adults. Hamas started the war with an attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people and abducted 251 others. They still hold 50 hostages, though Israel believes that more than half the remaining hostages are dead. Most of the rest were released in ceasefires or other deals. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Its count doesn't distinguish between fighters and civilians. The ministry operates under the Hamas government. The UN and other international organizations see it as the most reliable source of data on casualties.

Gaza death toll rises to at least 60,000 as Israel's offensive continues
Israel's military offensive on the Gaza Strip has killed at least 60,000 Palestinians since Oct. 7, 2023, the enclave's health ministry said, a conflict that has devastated the coastal territory and triggered a humanitarian crisis. The ministry said on Tuesday that the number of injured is 145,870, while thousands remain missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings and areas. The war began after Palestinian militant group Hamas carried out a cross-border attack on southern Israel. Israel's subsequent air and ground campaign has leveled entire neighborhoods in Gaza, displaced most of the population of 2.3 million, and pushed the enclave to the brink of famine, according to the United Nations. Israel claims its operations are aimed at dismantling Hamas' military capabilities and securing the release of hostages. The military says it has killed thousands of Hamas fighters in Gaza and destroyed hundreds of kilometers of tunnels used by the militants. The territory's health ministry says most of those killed are civilians. The fighting has drawn international condemnation and calls for a ceasefire, with global aid agencies warning of a collapse of essential services and rampant outbreaks of disease. The latest round of indirect ceasefire talks in Doha between Israel and Hamas broke off last week with no deal in sight. Humanitarian catastrophe Much of Gaza has been devastated during over 21 months of conflict, raising concerns about worsening starvation. Israel says Hamas is to blame for harm to civilians throughout the war, because its fighters operate among them, which the militants deny. It says it has allowed enough food into Gaza and blames the United Nations for failing to distribute it. The UN says it has operated as effectively as possible under severe restrictions imposed by Israel. Palestinian health officials have warned that hundreds of people could soon perish as hospitals are overwhelmed with patients experiencing dizziness and exhaustion amid severe food shortages and a breakdown in aid deliveries. The head of the UN Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, said that its staff, as well as doctors and humanitarian workers, were fainting on duty in Gaza due to hunger and exhaustion. After images of starving Palestinians alarmed the world in recent weeks, Israel announced on Sunday a halt in military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of Gaza and new aid corridors. Aid trucks began moving towards Gaza from Egypt, while Jordan and the United Arab Emirates airdropped supplies into the enclave.
