JAKARTA - Israeli warplanes bombarded eight hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the past three days according to reports by state media offices in Gaza today. Israel's “Aggression has forced 18 hospitals out of operation since October 7,” according to a statement by the media office, quoted from Anadolu via Antara, Thursday, November 9. It was stated that Israeli artillery cannons opened fire on the courtyard of Al-Shifa Hospital and the gate of Al-Nasr Hospital in the trapped area. "Based on international humanitarian law, the bombing of hospitals constitutes a war crime and is used as a criminal act based on 16 international agreements and UN resolutions calling for the protection of these health facilities," he said. Until now there has been no comment from the Israeli army regarding the Gaza statement. At least 10,569 Palestinians, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women, were killed in Israeli air and land attacks in the Gaza Strip since the Hamas resistance group launched a cross-border attack on October 7. Meanwhile, on the Israeli side nearly 1,600 people died in the conflict, according to official data. In addition to the high number of casualties and massive evacuations due to the Israeli siege in the region, the supply of basic needs for as many as 2.3 million Gazans is also running low.

The World Food Program (WFP) revealed that food supplies in the Gaza Strip were running low and bakeries in the area were not operating.
