Hamas has announced the suspension of hostage negotiations due to itsdissatisfaction with Israel’s actions at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza, asreported by a Palestinian official briefed on the talks (Reuters). Thehospital is facing heavy Israeli fire, with accusations that Hamas is usingit as a command center, though Hamas denies these claims.
Amid Israel’s offensive against Hamas, major hospitals in north Gaza,including Al Shifa, are struggling to provide adequate care, according tomedical staff.
In the midst of the month-long conflict aimed at eradicating militants andfreeing hostages, these hospitals face challenges, with reports ofpremature deaths and the endangerment of dozens of babies due to powershortages.
As Israeli bombardment continues, more casualties occur, but the capacityto treat the injured diminishes as hospitals face difficulties in operatingunder the impact of the conflict.
