Targets: UN Says Several Gaza Hospitals ‘Directly Hit’

Several hospitals in Gaza City and Northern Gaza have been “directly hit” as Israel intensifies attacks around hospitals, the United Nations(UN) says.

The World Health Organization (WHO)says it has lost communication with its contacts inside al-Shifa, the largest hospital in Gaza.

There are fears for hundreds of patients, including 37 premature babies in al-Shifa Hospital, as electricity fails in multiple hospitals.

Large marches calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza were held in cities around the world, including New York, London, Paris, Baghdad, Karachi, Berlin and Edinburgh.

At least 11,078 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. These figures may not be the latest as several hospitals lost contact on Saturday, delaying updates from the Gaza Ministry of Health, according to the UN.
