Gaza's Health System in Crisis Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock urges an end to violence in the West Bank, expressing concern over the "abominable and barbaric" attacks on Israeli women and children by Hamas. She calls for the release of hostages held by Hamas and pledges support for trauma therapy and rebuilding destroyed kibbutzim. Baerbock accuses Hamas of using Gazans as "human shields" and emphasizes the need to uphold international humanitarian law. Meanwhile, the Israeli military says it will help evacuate babies from Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital, which has been left without electricity. The IDF claims to have seized 11 military posts in Gaza and continues to target tunnels and terrorist cells. A pro-Palestinian march takes place in London, while an Arab-Islamic summit condemns Israeli "aggression" in Gaza. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman blames Israel for "crimes" against Palestinians, and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi attends a summit in Saudi Arabia, calling for an end to the siege of Gaza. Settler violence in the West Bank intensifies, and the Gaza Strip's largest hospital, al-Shifa, is left without power. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects French President Emmanuel Macron's call to stop the bombing campaign in Gaza.
