The hospitals in Gaza may be forced to shut down by Wednesday evening, due to an acute shortage of fuel, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said. The shortage of fuel is an impact of the Hamas-Israel war, which continues on the 19th day. Israel’s air force raided more than 720 places during the last 48 hours killing over 702 people.
Hamas has offered to release all hostages if Israel stops the attack on Gaza. According to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), more than 400 hideouts were targeted during the last 24 hours. A day earlier, 320 places were completely destroyed in an air attack by Israel.
Gaza Health Ministry said that the casualties in this was the highest. Besides Hamas hideouts, Israeli forces also attacked refugee camps. Bodies are still being pulled out of the rubble. So far death of 704 has been confirmed.
The UN Human Rights Secretary General said that more than 1,400 people died in the Hamas attack on Israel. The attack was horrifying. However, Israel punishing the Hamas terrorists is not improper.
The hospitals in Gaza have repeatedly called upon citizens to donate fuel, water, and any medical supplies they may have stored in their homes.
The human cost of this long-standing conflict is immeasurable, with at least 3,478 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza and more than 1,400 people affected in Israel. The world is hoping for a swift with bated breath, hoping for a swift end to the violence and a path toward peace for the people of Gaza.
