Two premature babies die in al-Shifa Hospital

The Israeli NGO Physician for Human Rights-Israel reported on Saturday that "two premature babies died” due to Israel cutting off all electricity for Gaza since 9 October. 

The NGO warned there is a “real risk for the lives of the 37 other premature babies" in the neonatal intensive care ward. 
Israeli forces have been bombing the vicinity and departments of the al-Shifa hospital since 9 November. Connections have largely been cut off in the area. 

Doctors Without Borders (MSF), whose staff still operate in the hospital, reports that "during the last 24 hours the al-Shifa hospital has been hit several times, particularly the maternity ward." 

Doctor Marwa Abou Saada, head of the al-Shifa surgery department, quoted by the NGO Medical aid for Palestinians (MAP), added that "no one can leave al-Shifa hospital".

“People who tried to get out were shot at. Some were killed, others injured,” he continues.
