 According to Palestinian media, WHO announced: "Water and electricity supplies have been cut off to the Nasser hospital complex in Khan Yunis, located in the southern Gaza Strip. Hospital waste accelerates the spread of diseases." The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also said: "The Zionist occupation forces fired at the third floor of Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis and started a fire in the south-eastern part of the hospital." According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, a delegation from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is present in the hospital courtyard, but occupation forces continue to shoot at rescuers. The World Food Program, as a specialized UN agency in the field of food, also informed about the suspension of aid supplies to the Gaza Strip. In addition, doctors in the Gaza Strip, warning of the death of Palestinian children due to food shortages as a result of the blockade of the strip, told the above-mentioned organization that children in the Gaza Strip are dying due to lack of medicine. A few hours ago, the head of ActionAid's humanitarian policy department, Ziad Issa, told Al Jazeera that his department had made a lot of efforts to send aid to the Gaza Strip, but the Zionist regime opposed this. The Zionist regime's war against the Gaza Strip very much continues into its 137th day with killings and crimes against Palestinian civilians and refugees. Israel's genocidal regime is creating yet another tragedy and disaster, this time in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. According to the latest statistics, since October 7, the number of martyrs has reached more than 29 thousand, and the number of wounded has reached more than 69 thousand people. The bodies of many martyrs are under the rubble, others lie on the ground, and the occupiers do not allow rescue and medical teams to reach them.
