"Fuel Shortage Threatens Gaza Aid Delivery as Biden Urges Protection for al-Shifa Hospital"

Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, accuses Israel of "killing innocent people without any criteria" in the Gaza Strip, comparing their actions to the 7 October attacks by Hamas. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has reached the gates of Gaza's largest hospital, al-Shifa, where hundreds of patients, including babies, remain trapped. At least 32 patients have died in the past three days due to energy shortages. The US president, Joe Biden, has called for the protection of al-Shifa hospital and for "less intrusive action" by Israeli forces. All hospitals in northern Gaza are out of service due to fuel shortages and intense combat, and the UN agency for Palestinian refugees warns that its aid operations in Gaza will shut down in 48 hours unless fuel is allowed in.
