Concern is at its height regarding several hospitals in Gaza subject to power cuts. Early in the morning, Sunday, November 12, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, was alarmed at having “lost contact” with his interlocutors at the al-Chifa hospital in Gaza City, the largest in the territory. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) fears that hospitals will turn into “morgues” in the absence of a ceasefire. Follow our live stream.
Al-Chifa hospital completely “surrounded”. The director of the establishment, Mohammed Abou Salmiya, announced that bombings “continue in its surroundings” of the establishment. “The medical team cannot work and the bodies, by the dozens, cannot be managed or buried”, he added. The day before, the Israeli army denied having targeted the hospital, accusing “terrorist organizations” to have touched him with a “rocket poorly fired”.
The Gazan population continues to flee south. The Israeli army said on Saturday that “nearly 200,000 people” had left the north of the Gaza Strip for the south of the territory over the past three days.
Cross-border clashes between Israel and Lebanon. The international community fears an extension of the conflict on the border between the two countries. Since October 8, there have been daily exchanges of fire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, and they target targets in greater depth each day. The leader of the Lebanese Shiite movement, Hassan Nasrallah, spoke of a strengthening of operations against Israel.
