Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza Stops Operating Amid Conflict
The Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, the leading cancer hospital in Gaza, has stopped operating due to the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. At least 70 patients in the hospital are in critical condition, while around 2,000 other cancer patients are at serious risk. The hospital’s director confirmed that the facility was damaged by an airstrike, which destroyed the center of the building and caused damage to oxygen and water supplies. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denied striking the hospital but did not provide further information.
Al Shifa Medical Complex at Risk of Shutting Down
The Palestinian Health Ministry also warned that the Al Shifa Medical Complex, the largest hospital in Gaza, could be out of service soon. The ministry stated that the hospital is running out of fuel and has been repeatedly hit by Israeli airstrikes. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that the Al Hilo Hospital was struck by shelling on Wednesday night. The Al Hilo Hospital had replaced Al Shifa hospital’s maternity ward and is currently treating injured individuals.
Israel Denies Fuel Shortage in Gaza
Israel has denied the presence of a fuel shortage in Gaza. IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus stated that there is between 800,000 and over one million liters of fuel stored in Gaza under Hamas control. However, the Palestinian Health Ministry’s warning about the Al Shifa Medical Complex shutting down due to a lack of fuel raises concerns about the availability of necessary resources for medical facilities in Gaza.
Death Toll and Injuries
Since the conflict began on October 7, the death toll in Gaza has reached 8,805, with 22,240 individuals injured. In Israel, there have been 1,400 deaths and 5,400 injuries.
