GAZA:130 premature babies’ lives in danger-MAP
Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP)
an organization that work for the health and dignity of Palestines under occupation and as refugees, has raised the alarm over the lives of 130 premature babies in Gaza.
Doctors in #Gaza have issued an urgent warning that the lives of 130 premature babies are in imminent danger if fuel does not reach hospitals soon.
MAP said: “The ives of 130 premature babies in #Gaza are in imminent danger due to the lack of fuel. The world cannot simply look on as these babies are killed by the siege on Gaza…”
“…We call on world leaders to demand that Israel urgently allow fuel in to Gaza’s hospitals. A failure to act is to sentence these babies to death.”
There are six neonatal intensive care units at hospitals in Gaza, including Shifa and Nasser hospitals. Since 9 October, Israeli authorities have imposed a “total closure” Gaza, halting the entry of fuel and electricity.
