UNICEF: Israel killed 45 Palestinian children in Gaza in two days
New York - Saba:
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Friday that the occupation forces killed 45 Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip over the past two days. It called for an immediate end to the daily suffering and killing of children.
The organization noted in a statement that this is "another devastating reminder that children in Gaza suffer first and foremost, forced to go hungry day after day and fall victim to indiscriminate attacks."
For its part, the World Health Organization said that "Israeli attacks continued to impact healthcare facilities, including the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis, which is no longer operational."
It noted that the hospital's closure cut off vital services, including neurosurgery, cardiac care, and cancer treatment, all of which are unavailable elsewhere in Gaza.
The WHO added that the closure ends the facility's role as a major medical evacuation center, further straining the already overburdened health system.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital: Fuel supply in Gaza hospitals only enough for two days
Gaza - Saba: Khalil al-Daqran, spokesman for al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, on Sunday confirmed that the fuel supply in Gaza hospitals is only enough for two days. In a statement to Al Jazeera on Sunday, al-Daqran called on the world to pressure the occupation to open the crossings to allow the entry of medical supplies. He explained that the wounded are facing difficulty reaching hospitals in southern Gaza. Al-Daqran pointed out that the hospital's artificial kidney department is out of service due to the occupation's attacks. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli enemy forces have been waging a war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, ignoring all international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. The genocide has left approximately 180,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and a famine has claimed the lives of the majority of the Strip's population. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
