31 infants taken out of Al-Shifa Hospital as many remain in severe condition

On Sunday, 31 babies were taken out of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza. Many international groups helped get the babies to safety in ambulances, even though there was fighting going on. People are worried about the babies’ health and safety.

The PCRS helped other groups take the babies to a hospital in southern Gaza. A source from the Egyptian government said the babies will go to Egypt on Monday.

Al-Shifa, the biggest hospital in Gaza, is now a focus of conflict in Israel’s war in the blockaded area. Hamas and people working at the hospital said that Israel’s claims are not true.

A group from the United Nations visited the hospital and said it was a very dangerous place.

The hallways and outside areas of the hospital were full of garbage and medical waste, which made it more likely for people to get sick. The patients and health workers they talked to were really scared for their safety and health, and they asked to be rescued.

For many days, the hospital was under constant attack, trapping thousands of people inside. This caused a lot of anger from the public, especially when we found out that even newborn babies were in danger.

Palestinian leaders said that some babies died because there was no electricity and not enough medical supplies. The hospital workers had to carry the babies from the machines that keep them warm and use foil to keep them from getting too cold.

The 31 babies that were moved are now in the southern city of Rafah in Gaza. Rafah is near the border with Egypt and has a crossing that has been used to bring in some aid and take out people from other countries.

We thought parents of the newborns could travel safely with their babies, but the WHO said not many babies had their family with them.

Gaza officials didn’t have much information and couldn’t locate their close family members, the WHO reported.

Ali Sbeiti, a father, was able to be with his young son Anas, who was born just three days before the war started.

“Thank you, God. ” We’re happy to know our son is safe after not seeing him for over two weeks. “We weren’t sure if he was alive or dead, especially when we couldn’t reach the doctors,” Sbeiti added.

The heavy fighting between Israel and Hamas and the lack of fuel for communication has made it harder to deliver aid and for Palestinians to get help.

The WHO said that the 31 babies who were moved to Rafah hospital have serious infections and are getting treated by the doctors there.

Eleven babies are very sick at Al-Shifa Hospital because there aren’t enough medical supplies, according to the WHO.

The doctor said they are doing tests on all the babies and giving them fluids and medicine based on how they are feeling.

Right now, they are in a tough but steady condition. This could get worse because we might run out of electricity soon if fuel doesn’t come into Gaza.

They had to leave because it was very dangerous. Some babies died and the hospital couldn’t help anyone anymore.

WHO’s leader, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said they are planning more missions to take the remaining patients and staff from Al-Shifa, as long as they are given reassurances by the groups fighting in the area that it will be safe.
