Israel-Hamas War LIVE: Three UN agencies expressed dismay at the conditions in hospitals, revealing that in 36 days, they documented a minimum of 137 attacks on healthcare facilities.
As reported by Reuters, these attacks resulted in 521 deaths and 686 injuries, which included 16 medics killed and 38 wounded.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reported that the World Health Organization has successfully reestablished communication with healthcare professionals at Shifa.
He emphasized the severity of the situation, describing it as “dire and perilous,” with ongoing gunfire and bombings intensifying the already critical circumstances.
“Tragically, the number of patient fatalities has increased significantly,” he said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Regrettably, the hospital is not functioning as a hospital anymore.”
By Sunday afternoon, a minimum of 80 aid trucks had entered Gaza from Egypt, as reported by two sources. Additionally, Jordan announced that it had air-dropped a second batch of aid into a field hospital.
