NNA – Dozens of martyrs fell, according to Hamas, in the Gaza Strip, which is being bombed by the Israeli occupation army and is witnessing a new complete blackout of communications on Saturday, the ninety-ninth day of the war between Israel and the movement.
An Agence France-Presse correspondent spoke of intense nighttime bombardment in the southern Gaza Strip, in the city of Khan Yunis, which is witnessing battles, and in Rafah, near the border with Egypt, where there are hundreds of thousands of Gazans who fled there in search of refuge.
The Hamas Ministry of Health said that the Israeli raids claimed the lives of more than sixty people, most of them women and children, and injured dozens.
At Al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah, residents try to identify their loved ones lying on the ground. In front of the row of bodies, a man hugs the remains of a small child wrapped in a white sheet.
The Israeli occupation army announced that it destroyed dozens of missile launch sites and killed four fighters in air strikes in Khan Yunis during various operations.
Since Friday, the humanitarian catastrophe condemned by international organizations has worsened with the complete interruption of communications and Internet services in Gaza, which the Palestinian Telecommunications Company (Paltel) attributed to the Israeli side, which ldquo;disconnected the servers.rdquo;
The Palestine Red Crescent Society said in a statement, ldquo;The cut-off in communications increases the challenges facing the Red Crescent crews in providing their ambulance services and reaching the wounded and injured as quickly as possible.rdquo;
The lack of fuel also led to the stoppingnbsp;of the main generator at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah in the center of the Strip, according to a source in the Hamas Ministry of Health.
Agence France-Presse quoted a source in the Ministry of Health as saying that running out of fuel led to the stopping of the main electricity generator in Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital.nbsp;Hamas#39;s government media office expressed its fear of patients and children dying in intensive care and nursery departments.
At the same time, negotiations continue regarding the fate of the hostages, whose families are organizing marches to demand their return. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Friday that an agreement had been reached, mediated by Qatar, to deliver medicines to them ldquo;in the coming days.rdquo;
A diplomat familiar with the negotiations said that ldquo;both sides,rdquo; Israel and Hamas, ldquo;have expressed their intention to allow the medicines to arriverdquo; and that ldquo;the mediators are putting the final touchesrdquo; on the logistical details.
