The israely army has destroyed the cardiac unit, 3 preterm neonates died due to the cut of electricity in Alshefa hospital in Gaza.
I'm extremely heavy hearted, and at loss of words.

According to Israel, 300 liters of fuel was very recently provided, but it was apparently not used by the hospital. Some IDF soldiers were photographed delivering fuel to a building (see below link).

The IDF has also offered to transport the babies elsewhere, with the medical staff saying this is not possible.
I would acknowledge that 300 liters from Israel is not enough, even if it were to be used. There is denial from both parties, with Hamas and medical staff saying there was no refusal (but that the fuel isn't enough) and Israel insisting that it was delivered to the hospital. Israel did say that it would deliver more fuel over time.
Hamas does use al-Shifa hospital. This is to the extent that they have a tunnel network underneath it, using them as command centers.
Yesterday, the E.U condemned Hamas for using civilians as "human shields."
The most likely scenario is that Hamas stole the fuel.
Hamas are cowards who use their civilian population in their "defense" strategy. They are embedded in civilian buildings, and in the civilian population. People should be outraged by this.
I have seen the photos of these babies, and I think it is deeply upsetting.
