Gaza: The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PPS) confirmed tonight the continued Israeli occupation’s targeting and siege of Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip for the eleventh consecutive day.
PRCS confirmed the occupation forces’ persistent intense shelling and shooting in the vicinity of Al-Amal Hospital.
The society added that the Israeli forces continued their military raids into the hospital and PRCS premises, amid direct gunfire threatening the lives of staff and displaced individuals seeking shelter there.
The Occupation military tanks are surrounding the hospital from all directions, preventing anyone, including ambulance teams, from entering or leaving the premises of the hospital and the PRCS building, reported PRCS.
PRCS reported a severe food shortage left available for staff, patients, and displaced people. The Society said they were forced to reduce the meals to one meal a day in a desperate effort to preserve remaining supplies.
PRCS warned that the hospital is exper
iencing a severe shortage of infant formula, which puts breastfeeding infants at great risk.
The Society also warned that the hospital is suffering from critical shortages in medical supplies, medications and fuel.
PRCS said its teams were forced today to bury five bodies in the hospital’s courtyard due to the ongoing siege, bringing the total number of people buried in the hospital’s courtyard since the beginning of the siege to 15.
‘Seven patients and wounded people face life-threatening situations if not transferred for treatment outside the hospital,’ the Society warned in a post on the X platform.
