In response to escalating violence, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, in coordination with UN agencies including the WHO, successfully evacuated 31 premature babies from Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza. The hospital, labeled a "death zone" by the WHO, has been a focal point in Israeli operations. Gaza health authorities report over 12,000 deaths, including 5,000 children, as Israel continues its campaign. Despite WHO's call for immediate evacuation, 291 patients and 25 health workers remain at Al-Shifa. Eight babies have died since November 11 due to electricity shortages. The crisis deepens as Gaza faces ongoing humanitarian challenges.
