39 babies at risk of death as electricity cut off in Al-Shifa hospital

A total of 39 Palestinian babies are at risk of death in Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital, the Palestinian health minister has said.

The premature babies are hooked to incubators but electricity has been cut off, meaning they can't be provided with life-saving oxygen.

Staff are currently trying to supply the infants with manually-generated oxygen. However, health officials said the babies will start dying in a matter of hours.
