An Israeli air strike has severely damaged one of the few functioning hospitals in Gaza, the Kuwaiti Field Hospital in the Mawasi area, resulting in the death of a healthcare worker and injuries to nine others, including patients and doctors. The attack targeted the hospital's northern entrance, according to a hospital spokesperson. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza, the last fully operational hospital in the north of the strip, was forced to cease operations following an Israeli airstrike. The WHO noted that the hospital's pharmacy, emergency services, and other critical facilities were destroyed, leaving 40 critically ill patients unable to be evacuated. Hamas has accused Israel of continuing to target essential infrastructure in Gaza, including water wells and desalination plants, for the seventh consecutive week. The group claims that Israel is preventing the entry of all essential items necessary for life, including food, medicine, and fuel, into the enclave. At least 17 Palestinians have been killed and 69 wounded in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave's Health Ministry. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) reported that over 2.1 million people in Gaza are trapped and facing bombardment and starvation. UNRWA also stated that no aid has entered Gaza for six weeks due to the ongoing Israeli blockade, with stocks that were replenished during a ceasefire now nearly depleted. The Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO) has declared that Gaza has entered a full-blown famine, with 91% of the population facing extreme food insecurity and 60,000 children urgently needing treatment for malnutrition. Hamas has called for 'serious steps' to end the blockade and has launched an urgent appeal for a global week of action under the theme 'Gaza is calling you' to support the resilience of Gaza, denounce the aggression, and demand an end to the war of extermination. The group also urged for global days of anger against the occupation and American support on the upcoming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Hamas is currently reviewing a new ceasefire proposal from Israel, presented by truce talks mediator Egypt.
