About 120 newborn premature babies on incubators in war-torn Gaza’s hospitals are at risk of death as fuel runs out in the besieged enclave
The United Nations children agency, UNICEF, has warned that about 120 newborn premature babies on incubators in war-torn Gaza’s hospitals are at risk of death as fuel runs out in the war ravaged zone.reports that over 1,750 children have already been killed by Israeli strikes launched against the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the October 7 Hamas attacks, according to the Palestinian territory’s health ministry.
“We have currently 120 neonates who are in incubators, out of which we have 70 neonates with mechanical ventilation, and of course this is where we are extremely concerned,” said UNICEF spokesman Jonathan Crickx on Sunday. Israel ordered a complete blockade of the territory after the Hamas attacks, in which the Islamist group killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians, according to Israeli officials.
Israel fears that fuel could help Hamas, although the limited supplies still in Gaza were being diverted to keep the generators for medical equipment running.
