TL;DR Summary

International outcry is growing over the dire conditions at Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa, as the ongoing battles between Israel and Hamas continue. Doctors Without Borders reported that the lives of dozens of babies are at risk due to the shutdown of incubators caused by a lack of fuel for generators. The hospital is also running out of water and food. The International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations have condemned the situation, calling for an end to acts of war in healthcare facilities. Meanwhile, Gaza City's Al-Quds Hospital is also out of service due to fuel depletion and power outages. Israel has demanded the evacuation of Gaza hospitals, accusing Hamas of using human shields. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that there will be no cease-fire until all hostages are released and outlined his vision for post-war Gaza, which clashes with Washington's ideas.
