31 premature babies in critical condition were safely transferred from Gaza's main hospital to Egypt, while over 250 patients with severe wounds remained stranded. The newborns from Shifa Hospital were receiving urgent care in Rafah. A World Health Organization team reported unsanitary conditions and increased infection risk.
Health officials said 31 premature babies in “extremely critical condition” were transferred safely Sunday from Gaza 's main hospital and will go to Egypt, while over 250 patients with severely infected wounds and other urgent conditions remained stranded days after. The newborns from Shifa Hospital, where power was cut and supplies ran out while Israeli forces battled Palestinian militants outside, were receiving urgent care in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
They had dehydration, hypothermia and sepsis in some cases. Four other babies died in the two days before the evacuation. A World Health Organization team that visited Shifa for an hour Saturday said hospital corridors were filled with medical and solid waste, increasing the risk of infection for patients who were “terrified for their safety and health, and pleaded for evacuation.” Twenty-five staff stayed behind
