Patients in Gaza Hospital at Risk of Starving

The Ministry of Health in Gaza said late on Tuesday that 60 patients were “at risk of death”.

“The humanitarian situation inside the hospital has become extremely dangerous, as the wounded lack basic needs, which increases their suffering under the difficult conditions imposed by (Israeli) forces,” the ministry said in a statement.

The hospital is located in Beit Lahiya in the north of the Gaza Strip, which has been under a tighter Israeli military siege since early October.

In its separate daily update on the death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza, the ministry said that at least 28 people had been killed and 54 others wounded in “four massacres against families” over the last 24-hour reporting period.

“A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry added, Al Jazeera reported.

The death toll from more than 14 months of Israeli attacks on Gaza rose to 44,786 people, the ministry said.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa later reported that at least seven Palestinians had been killed and others wounded when Israeli fighter jets bombed a multi-story residential building in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
