War on Gaza: Continuing clashes and hospitals “unable” to count deaths and wounded

In terms of field developments, fierce battles are taking place between groups of militants and occupation forces on several fronts west of Gaza City, amid escalating shelling and raids in the vicinity of hospitals.


The number of martyrs in Gaza rose to 11,180, including 4,609 children and 3,100 women, according to what the government media office in the besieged Strip confirmed on the 37th day of the war on Gaza, while Israeli aircraft intensified its raids and bombing in the vicinity of hospitals, while the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, repeated: During an interview with CNN on Sunday, he said that Israel would be willing to discuss a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip only if it was in exchange for the release of all Hamas hostages.


This comes in light of the Israeli escalation against hospitals in the Gaza Strip, targeting and besieging them, as well as the bombing of their surroundings, especially in the north and west of Gaza City, as the occupation forces are trying to penetrate those areas. There were reports of a loss of communication with the Al-Shifa Complex, which has been out of service since yesterday, Saturday, and its electricity was completely cut off, which means that the devices that provide life to patients, including infants, are out of service.


Earlier today, the occupation forces bombed the Mahdi Maternity Hospital in the Al-Nasr neighborhood, west of Gaza City, killing two doctors and wounding a number of displaced people.


The Director General of Gaza Hospitals, Muhammad Zaqout, announced today the difficulty of counting the number of martyrs and wounded in the Strip, and said: “We are now unable to count the number of martyrs and wounded due to the inability to reach them,” in light of the continued Israeli bombing. He also explained that "the Israeli occupation intensively targeted the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip and the Mahdi Maternity Hospital in the Al-Nasr neighborhood, west of Gaza City," stressing that "the Al-Nasr and Al-Rantisi hospitals in the Al-Nasr neighborhood, west of Gaza City, were forcibly evacuated, and the patients are now in the streets without medical care."


In terms of field developments, fierce battles are taking place between groups of militants and the occupation forces on several fronts, while armed resistance groups clashed with the occupation forces on several fronts west of Gaza City.
