"Escalating Israel-Hamas Conflict Sparks Global Outrage: Live Updates"

The situation in Gaza's largest hospitals, Al-Shifa Hospital and Al-Quds Hospital, is deteriorating as Israeli forces continue their assault. Both hospitals are no longer functioning due to a lack of fuel and electricity. Doctors at Al-Shifa Hospital are refusing to evacuate, warning that hundreds of patients will die if left behind. Israel claims it is justified in targeting the hospitals, alleging that Hamas has a command center under Al-Shifa. The death toll in Gaza has risen to over 11,000, including thousands of children and women. Gaza is also facing a communication blackout, which could hinder emergency services. Over 100 UN staff members have been killed in Gaza, and the White House has expressed concern for the protection of hospitals. Indonesian President Joko Widodo called on the US to do more to stop the atrocities in Gaza, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged disagreements within the State Department on the US approach to the conflict. President Biden is expected to discuss the Israel-Hamas war with China's President Xi Jinping during their meeting this week.
