In a heartbreaking turn of events, the Palestinian Ministry of Health has reported the tragic deaths of 39 infants in the intensive care units (ICUs) within Gaza, all due to a severe lack of oxygen. This devastating news was conveyed in an urgent report by “Al-Qahira Al-Ikhbariya,” a news channel.
The Israeli occupation forces have continued their intensive and unprecedented onslaught on the Gaza Strip for 36 consecutive days, launching attacks by air, sea, and land. This relentless assault has resulted in the loss of thousands of lives, with the majority being children, women, and elderly individuals. Additionally, hundreds of people remain trapped under the rubble due to the perilous conditions on the ground.
Ambulance services in Gaza are facing tremendous difficulties in transporting the wounded and the bodies of the deceased. The ongoing Israeli bombardment in various areas of the Gaza Strip has compounded the challenges faced by medical and rescue teams.
The tragic loss of these 39 infants underscores the urgent need for humanitarian assistance and a cessation of hostilities in the region. The international community continues to call for an immediate ceasefire and efforts to alleviate the suffering of the people in Gaza, particularly those in critical medical conditions. The situation remains dire, with innocent lives hanging in the balance as the conflict persists.
