"Tragic Toll: Gaza's Children Suffer Amidst Fuel Shortage and Bombings"

Aid agencies are calling for a ceasefire in Gaza as doctors warn that a fuel shortage caused by an Israeli blockade is leading to the deaths of vulnerable babies and wounded people in hospitals. At least 2,000 children have been killed in Gaza in the past few weeks, according to one aid agency. The Israeli bombing campaign has intensified, and the country's defense minister has stated that they are preparing for a "multilateral operation" against Hamas. Hospitals in Gaza are facing collapse due to fuel depletion, with surgeries being conducted without anesthesia and under phone lights. The situation is dire, with outbreaks of diseases and a lack of access to healthcare for pregnant women. The release of two elderly hostages from Hamas custody has been welcomed, but hundreds of others remain captive.
