39 babies at risk of dying in Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital due to electricity cutoff

Palestinian Health Ministry declared on Saturday that 39 infants at the Al Shifa Hospital are at risk of dying due to electricity cutoff and oxygen supply interruption.

The hospital director Mohammed Abu Selmeia said an Israeli airstrike on Saturday destroyed the central oxygen supply line of the hospital, posing a danger to the lives of the wounded and patients inside.

Abu Selmeia reported that, in addition, Israeli drones are targeting anyone at the medical complex, rendering physicians unable to provide medical services.

He added that newborns and patients relying on life support devices are also at risk of dying within hours due to a complete power outage at the hospital complex.
