Gaza's largest hospital reports that it has buried more than 100 people in a mass grave, as it says bodies decompose in its courtyard and babies are dying because their incubators have no power.
The conditions at Al-Shifa Hospital, and other medical facilities in Gaza, are worsening to new unimaginable levels, according to health officials and humanitarian groups on the ground.
Hospitals have run out of fuel to power their generators, including Al-Shifa and Al-Quds in the north of Gaza, and have ceased to function as medical facilities. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Tuesday that "all but one of the hospitals are no longer operational." There are 35 hospitals in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
More than 11, 200 Palestinians in Gaza have died, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. Officials report a rising death toll as Israel continues its siege on the region in response to the October 7 attacks by the militant group Hamas.
Without fuel, the Gazan hospitals' youngest patients are suffering the most.
Al-Shifa ran out of fuel on Saturday. Three premature babies have died since then, according to health officials in Gaza.
