Doctors in Gaza neonatal intensive care units are desperate for fuel and medicines to keep 130 newborn babies alive as Israel's blockade leaves hospitals without power. Generators at hospitals like Al-Shifa are running out of fuel, threatening incubators keeping fragile babies alive. Without electricity, babies could die within minutes. Gaza health officials urgently appealed for fuel donations from petrol stations to maintain life-saving services. The crisis comes as Israel imposed a total blockade after Hamas militants killed 1,400 Israelis in cross-border attacks. With supplies running out, Gaza's hospitals are struggling to care for 2.3 million people. Aid convoys are entering but fall far short of meeting needs in the embattled enclave.
