Israel-Palestine live: Israel and Palestinians agree to truce, hostage deal

Palestinian news outlets are now reporting that the power has gone out at the Indonesian Hospital amid the ongoing Israeli bombardment.

Reports are also saying that Israeli forces are surrounding the hospital, raising fears that the medical facility will face the same fate as al-Shifa Hospital.

Journalists on the ground are reporting that Israeli forces are shooting anyone that tries to leave the hospital.

Several days ago, Israeli forces launched a military operation on al-Shifa, the largest medical complex in Gaza, forcibly evacuating the hospital while claiming that there were Hamas tunnels underneath the hospital.

Several Palestinian news outlets are reporting severe shelling taking place on and around Indonesia Hospital, located in Gaza's north.

The reports also say that one Palestinian doctor has been injured by Israeli bombardment on the hospital.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has provided an update to the 18 November Israeli air strike on Khan Younis.

MSF said that within minutes of the blast, at least 122 people arrived at Nasser Hospital, and 70 people were dead on arrival.

“While 70 people were dead upon arrival, dozens of injured, including many children, arrived in critical conditions with severe burns,” MSF, which has doctors at the hospital, said on X.

The group added that surgeons at the hospitals are doing roughly 10 burn surgeries a day.

“The medical needs are huge and MSF is ready to scale up its activities, but we need basic guarantees of safety and unrestricted access of medical and humanitarian supplies into Gaza,” said Christophe Garnier, an MSF project coordinator in southern Gaza.

MSF said there was an urgent need for a ceasefire.

The UN's humanitarian office (Ocha) released a brief report on Sunday, stating the current humanitarian situation on the ground in Gaza.

Ocha said that at least 45 percent of all housing units in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged. The same can be said for 300 educational facilities, and at least 135 medical facilities have been attacked.

Ocha added that it could not independently verify the data, and that it was relying on the Palestinian Ministry of Health and Israel's government.

The White House has responded to news that Houthi forces seized a vessel in the Red Sea, calling it a "flagrant violation of international law".

"We demand the immediate release of the ship and its crew. We will consult with our UN partners for the appropriate next steps," a National Security Council spokesperson said in a statement to Al Jazeera.

On Sunday, the Israeli military said that Yemen's Houthis had seized a cargo ship that was sailing from Turkey to India, adding that the vessel was not Israeli-owned and had no Israelis among its crew.

Since 7 October, Washington has increased its military footprint in the Middle East by sending carrier strike groups, fighter jets, and a nuclear-powered submarine.

France will transport more than 10 tonnes of medical supplies to the Gaza Strip early next week, French President Emmanuel Macron said. 

The supplies will be transported on a French air force charter. 

Good evening MEE readers,
