The World Health Organization said that the Nasser hospital in Gaza has stopped working because of an attack by Israel.
Israeli soldiers went into the building on Thursday because they had information that hostages taken by Hamas were being kept there.
The WHO said they were not able to go to the place to see what was happening.
The IDF said its Nasser operation was careful and not very big. It also accused Hamas of using hospitals for terror.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of WHO, said that the Nasser hospital in Gaza can no longer operate after being under siege for a week and ongoing raids.
“The WHO team tried to go to the hospital yesterday and the day before, but they were not allowed inside to see the patients and their serious medical needs. They were only able to deliver fuel to the hospital compound with their partners. ”
“Approximately 200 people are still in the hospital. ” At least 20 people need to go to other hospitals right away to get medical help. Every patient has the right to be referred to another doctor.
The hospital in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, only has four medical staff left to take care of the patients.
The media could not go to the hospital and could not check the situation there by itself.
Someone who works at the hospital said that 11 patients died because the electricity and oxygen supply stopped. They also said that some doctors were taken by the police.
The Israeli army says nobody was killed because of what they did, and they were instructed to keep the hospital working.
The report said that they brought diesel and oxygen to the site, and that they are using a temporary generator.
“We don’t give patients any medicine to stop them from feeling pain, so they have to yell for many hours. ”
There has been a lot of fighting around the Nasser site for several weeks. Israel keeps saying that Hamas is using hospitals and schools as places to plan and carry out their actions.
The Israeli army says it has killed around 20 Hamas soldiers and taken many weapons near the hospital.
The IDF said that in the last day, many terrorists were killed and a lot of weapons were taken.
At least 1,200 people died in attacks in Israel by Hamas-led gunmen on 7 October last year.
Israel started a war in the Gaza Strip as a reaction. More than 28,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and more than 68,000 injured since the war started, says the health ministry run by Hamas.
It said that in the last day, at least 127 Palestinians died and 205 were hurt.
Even though there is still fighting in Gaza, people are trying to make peace between Israel and Hamas in Cairo. But the mediators from Qatar said that the progress hasn’t been very good lately.
Sheik Mohammed said that things haven’t been going well lately, but we will stay positive and keep working hard.
Israeli leader Netanyahu said he sent people to talk after US President Biden asked, but they didn’t come back because Hamas’s requests were not realistic.
Hamas said that Israel is the reason why they haven’t been able to make a deal to stop fighting.
The group has set out some rules. They want the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, Israel’s forces to leave completely, and the war to stop after 135 days of fighting, divided into three parts.
Mr Netanyahu said that Israel is still sending troops into Gaza, even though other countries are telling them not to do it until they have a plan to get the Palestinian people out of the area. They are now moving towards Rafah in the south.
Around 15 million people are in Rafah, near the border with Egypt. They were told by Israeli forces to go there for safety while Hamas targets were being attacked in northern and central Gaza.
Egypt’s President, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, said again that he does not want Palestinians to be moved forcefully into Egypt’s Sinai desert.
During a phone call, the French President and another leader agreed that it is important to quickly stop the fighting.
Mr Sisi believes that the best solution is for Palestinians to have their own independent country.
On Sunday, Mr. Netanyahu said his government all agreed to officially not support the idea of recognizing Palestine as a state on its own.
He said that any agreement must be made by Israelis and Palestinians talking to each other directly.
“Israel refuses to follow international demands for a final agreement with the Palestinians. ” “A deal can only be made if both sides talk to each other directly, without any conditions,” said a statement from the government.
