Gaza Conflict Escalates: Hospitals Targeted, Premature Babies Evacuated

As the conflict enters its 45th day, the humanitarian crisis deepens with hospitals under attack and thousands displaced.

28 premature babies, 11 or 12 in critical condition, were evacuated from Gaza's Al Shifa Hospital to Egypt for treatment due to the ongoing conflict and deteriorating conditions in the hospital.
Israeli military claims to have found a Hamas tunnel under Al Shifa Hospital, which had been a focal point of the conflict, with accusations of the hospital being used as a strategic hub by Hamas.
Another medical facility, the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, was targeted, resulting in the death of 10 patients under anesthetic.
The conflict, which started with a surprise attack by Hamas on October 7, has resulted in the death of 1,200 Israelis and over 13,000 Palestinians, and has displaced three-quarters of Gazans.
Both Israelis and Palestinians are being held hostage by their own leaders, according to a Palestinian woman and an Israeli woman in San Francisco, highlighting the human cost of the conflict.
