On November 13, the two largest and second largest hospitals in the Gaza Strip, Al Shifa and Al-Quds, were completely paralyzed due to fuel exhaustion while more than half of the hospitals in the strip have been forced to stop operating since the conflict between the Hamas Islamist movement and Israel broke out in early October.
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that the situation on the ground is getting more serious with non-stop bombing and gunfire, the number of patients dying is increasing while the largest hospital in the region cannot maintain its function as a health care facility.
After the building housing the incubator for premature babies at Al-Shifa Hospital was bombed, medical staff were forced to move all the babies in need of special care to regular beds, using the little energy they had left to turn on the air conditioning and heating. Doctors fear that more premature babies will die every day.

Israel said it was trying to free 200 hostages taken by Hamas since October 7 and ordered hospitals to be evacuated, accusing the group of placing its command posts near or under hospitals as a shield.
