Three premature infants were dead in Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, as a result of a power outage resulting from running out of fuel and the inability to operate the oxygen station, bringing the death toll of premature infants since the beginning of the aggression on the seventh of last October to seven.

It is noteworthy that 51 patients, including 4 premature babies, were dead in the Al-Shifa Complex, due to a power outage after the fuel ran out, and the occupation besieged the complex, between 11 and 18 November.

Last Sunday, 31 premature babies were evacuated from the Shifa Complex in Gaza City and transported via Red Crescent vehicles to the Emirates Crescent Hospital in Rafah, under the coordination of the World Health Organization and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

26 out of 35 hospitals and 52 out of 72 primary health care clinics in the Gaza Strip are out of service, i.e. more than two-thirds, due to damage resulting from the bombing or lack of fuel, and the remaining nine hospitals are partially operating.

Of the 24 hospitals that have the capacity to receive inpatients in the north, there is one hospital, the Arab National “Baptist” Hospital in Gaza, which is currently operating and receiving patients under great difficulties.

18 hospitals have been closed and evacuated since the start of the aggression, including three hospitals in the past five days: Al-Nasr, Al-Rantisi, and Al-Quds.
