Gaza's Shifa Hospital Struggles Without Power as Israel-Hamas Conflict Escalates

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Israel offered fuel to Gaza's Al Shifa hospital, which had suspended operations due to a lack of fuel, but Hamas militants refused to accept it. Netanyahu stated that Israel has no intention of endangering the lives of patients or civilians and had offered enough fuel to operate the hospital and incubators. However, Hamas allegedly wants the fuel for their war efforts rather than for the hospital. The Israeli military was prepared to evacuate babies from Al Shifa, but Palestinian officials reported that people were still trapped inside, with three newborns dead and many others at risk due to a power outage. Hamas denies the Israeli allegations of having command posts under Shifa and other Gaza hospitals.
