Gaza Doctors Using Incubators for Four Babies at Once Amid Israel’s Blockade

HeadlineJul 11, 2025

The U.N. confirmed its first, very limited, fuel delivery into Gaza in at least 130 days. The U.N. says the amount allowed in covered less than one day of Gaza’s fuel needs. Hospitals remain in a critical situation. This is pediatrician Ziad al-Masry of Al-Helou Hospital.

Dr. Ziad al-Masry: “There are three or four newborn babies in one incubator. It is designed to accommodate one child, one premature baby. Our situation is like a disaster. The cramming of children leads to the spread of illness and inability to deal with them, and therefore leads to a direct danger to them.”
