The Israeli occupation army claimed, on Saturday, that it would help evacuate infants from Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in the Gaza Strip, in an attempt to appear humanitarian before the international community and humanitarian organizations, which have sharpened their statements in condemning the occupation and its violations against civilians in Gaza.

Earlier, Saturday, medics said that two premature infants died in hospital in Gaza City when the neonatal intensive care unit stopped working due to a power outage.

The Israeli NGO Physicians for Human Rights reported that there was “a real danger to the lives of 37 other premature infants.”

The surgeon at the hospital, Muhammad Obaid, confirmed the death of the two premature babies, adding that an adult patient also died due to the lack of electricity for a respirator.

He said, in an audio recording published by Doctors Without Borders: “We want someone to guarantee that we can evacuate patients because we have about 600 patients.”

Eyewitnesses in the hospital confirmed that continuous gunfire, air strikes, and artillery shelling prevented people from moving even inside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Dr. Nidal Abu Hadros, head of the surgical hospital and consultant neurosurgeon at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, sent an urgent message to international medical institutions and world governments.

Dr. Abu Hadros said, "The situation in Al-Shifa Hospital now is very dangerous. We, as medical staff, want to leave, but we cannot."

"We may not be able to survive until the morning... We don't want to be killed here, just because we remain committed to our patients and our medical profession," he said.

He continued, "I am urgently calling for assistance. Please do everything you can through your government or the International Committee of the Red Cross to arrange safe passage for the medical staff."

"Please treat this matter as extremely urgent," he concluded his message.

Norwegian doctor Mads Gilbert wrote on the X platform: “39 infants were removed from incubators due to the destruction of the oxygen device and the cutting of electricity. They are now being treated in another department for security reasons, but they are now without the oxygen and thermostat they need.”

The Norwegian doctor sent a message to US President Joe Biden yesterday, Friday, saying: Do you hear me? Can you hear the screaming from Al-Shifa Hospital?”

The World Health Organization announced the loss of contact with the people it deals with at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

The organization said in a statement that it "lost contact with people it deals with at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza."

It stressed, "As horrific reports continue to emerge about the hospital being subjected to repeated attacks, we assume that those we deal with there have joined tens of thousands of displaced people who have fled the area."

Earlier on Saturday, Gaza Health announced that it had been decided to dig a mass grave inside the campus of the Shifa Medical Complex to bury 100 wounded people who died in the besieged complex, the surroundings of which are subject to continuous Israeli bombing.

Director General of the Ministry of Health, Mounir Al-Barsh, said: “The bombing has not stopped in the vicinity of the hospital for 3 nights. There is very violent shelling almost every minute, with the aim of paving the way for entering the complex.”

The Israeli army has continued its war on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October, amid a tightening siege on the residents of the Strip, a depletion of food and medical supplies, and Israeli aircraft bombing hospitals and schools.

So far, the aerial bombardment and ground operation carried out by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip has resulted in the death of 11,078 Palestinians, including 4,506 children, and the injury of 27,000 others since October 7.
