00:00 In Gaza, the Israeli regime escalates its blockade of the Strip, worsening by the hour

00:04 the humanitarian crisis Palestinians are experiencing.

00:07 Our correspondent, Honour Harazin, has the details.

00:11 The best way to just describe the situation here in Gaza is that everything is worsening.

00:19 The Israeli troops have tightened its blockade siege on the Ashifa hospital, even though

00:26 that the tanks are not on the front gate of the Ashifa hospital, but the Israeli snipers

00:32 are now taking over high buildings surrounding the Ashifa hospital.

00:38 And at the same time, of course, the Israeli warplanes are targeting places around and

00:43 in the Ashifa hospital.

00:46 According to the Palestinian medical sources, inside the hospital, three premature babies

00:52 died because of the lack of fuel.

00:54 Of course, this means that the machines are not operating to save the lives of these premature

00:59 babies.

01:00 At the same time, a number of people who are inside the intensive care unit also died due

01:06 to the lack of fuel and electricity.

01:10 The system in the Ashifa hospital now has totally collapsed.

01:14 There is no electricity, no fuel, no food, no water.

01:18 And the hospital, especially that the hospital is now housing thousands of Palestinian families

01:23 that took shelter inside the hospital.

01:27 Here I am inside the Shuhada al-Aqsa hospital, which is located in the middle of Gaza, in

01:31 Deir el-Balah.

01:32 And Palestinians fleeing their homes started to take shelter here in this hospital.

01:36 However, they are scared.

01:38 Yes, they do believe that after Israel finishes its ground invasion in Gaza and on the hospitals

01:47 in Gaza, they then will try to enter some places in the middle and southern Gaza and

01:54 also hijack the hospitals, putting the lives of those patients and displaced people in

02:02 danger.
