Three Palestinian children were killed in Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip as a result of a power outage resulting from running out of fuel and the inability to operate the oxygen station, raising the death toll of premature infants since the beginning of the aggression on seven since October 7th.

Of the 24 hospitals that have the capacity to receive inpatients in the north, there is one hospital, the Arab National Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which is currently operating and receiving patients under great difficulties.
18 hospitals have be
