Eight Palestinians were killed today (Friday) in an Israeli raid that targeted a house in the Nuseirat Palestinian refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, according to what Palestinian medical sources and eyewitnesses reported.

Eyewitnesses told Xinhua News Agency that the Israeli aircraft targeted an inhabited house, which led to its complete destruction above the heads of its residents.

Meanwhile, medical sources told Xinhua that the Israeli raid resulted in the death of eight people and the wounding of a number of others with varying injuries. All of them were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital.

In addition, the government media office in Gaza warned in a statement that the health and medical service at the “Shuhada Al-Aqsa” Hospital in the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Strip would stop during the next two days due to the depletion of fuel.

The statement said that the hospital is about to run out of fuel within the next 48 hours, which will consequently lead to the cessation of health and medical services.

The statement stated that the supply of fuel to the hospital, the last to provide health services in the Gaza Strip, had been halted after the Israeli army destroyed the health sector and medical system and completely put 33 hospitals out of service.

The statement held Israel and the American administration fully responsible for any real disaster or crisis that may occur at any moment that may result in deaths that may befall patients and children, especially the sick and wounded hospitalized in intensive care and nursery departments.

The statement called on UN organizations and international institutions to supply fuel to the hospital quickly before it is too late, calling for immediate and urgent intervention to supply all hospitals with fuel and to rehabilitate and restore them before a humanitarian disaster occurs that kills thousands of people.
