Israel’s unrelenting slaughter in Gaza has killed at least 55 Palestinians so far today, including children. This comes as Gaza’s doctors are warning of even more imminent deaths as hospitals run out of fuel due to Israel’s illegal blockade. This is Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiyah, director of Al-Shifa Hospital.

Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiyah: “We have 13 patients in intensive care, most of them on ventilators, and we have around 100 premature babies in Gaza City hospitals whose lives are in serious risk. … Oxygen stations will stop working. A hospital without oxygen is no longer a hospital. The lab and blood banks will shut down. The blood units in the refrigerators will spoil. … The hospital will cease to be a place of healing and will become a graveyard for those inside.”

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Education Ministry reports at least 18,243 students and school staff have been killed and more than 31,000 others wounded in Gaza and the occupied West Bank since October of 2023.
