The lives of 36 babies at Gaza's Al Shifa Hospital were hanging in the balance on Tuesday, according to medical staff there who said there was no clear mechanism to move them despite an Israeli effort to supply incubators for an evacuation. Three of the original 39 premature babies have already died since Gaza's biggest hospital ran out of fuel at the weekend to power generators that had kept their incubators going.

The lives of 36 babies at Gaza's Al Shifa Hospital are at risk due to a lack of fuel to power their incubators. Three babies have already died. The hospital is located in the center of Gaza City, which has been heavily affected by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
