More Than 60 Killed as Israeli Regime Continues Pounding Gaza Strip
On Sunday night, the Israeli regime launched a deadly air strike on a residential building in Jabalia refugee camp, the largest of eight refugee camps in Gaza.
The attack killed 30 people, mostly women and children, and injured 27 others, who were pulled out from under the rubble. The attack hit buildings in the vicinity of hospitals, including Al-Shifa and Al-Quds, which are struggling to treat the wounded.
In Rafah, a city in southern Gaza, another Israeli air strike killed 29 people, many of them women and children. A doctor at Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza said that 65 percent of the casualties taken to the hospital overnight were children.
In Khan Younis, a city on the southern tip of Gaza, six children were killed and a woman was wounded when an Israeli warplane bombed a house in the area.
The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 4,650 and the number of injured has climbed to 14,245 since the start of Israel's bombardment of the besieged strip more than two weeks ago, according to Gaza's health ministry.
The regime has continued to bomb Gaza in response to an offensive by Hamas on Israeli-occupied territories on October 7, which killed more than 1,400 Israeli soldiers and settlers, according to Israeli officials.
Meanwhile, Western leaders have issued a joint statement supporting Israel.
The leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States have issued a joint statement reiterating their support for Israel and calling on the country to follow international humanitarian law and protect civilians.
Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital faces 'real disaster' as fuel supply dwindles
Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza is facing a "real disaster", as its fuel supply may run out in the next 48 hours, its director said.
Dr Mohammad Abu Salmiya told Al Jazeera that the hospital has not received any UN aid amid the total Israeli blockade of Gaza. He said the hospital has the highest number of wounded patients and medical staff in Gaza. With its power cut off by Israel, it is operating with generators that use fuel.
Before dawn on Monday, the vicinity of the hospital, as well as two other Gaza medical facilities, came under intense Israeli bombardment, sparking fear among the people inside the facility. Earlier, the Israeli military had also ordered the hospital to evacuate ahead of a possible ground invasion.
