Gaza authorities are calling for urgent aid to feed newborns

The Gaza Ministry of Health warned on Wednesday that there will be a "humanitarian disaster" in the next 48 hours, as they have virtually no milk for premature babies and newborns.

According to a statement released, hundreds of babies in incubators are at risk of dying because of the lack of this essential food. There is no milk in hospitals, markets or local institutions.

The Ministry has urgently called on the international community to intervene and save their lives before it is too late.

The Ministry has also reported that hospitals in Gaza have only fuel for three days, preventing international agencies from accessing storage sites because of Israel's obstruction of supply.

Israel does not allow international organizations and the UN access to fuel storage sites in hospitals on the grounds that they are "in red zone." According to the Gaza health authorities, this obstacle "could stop the operation of hospitals."

Finally, 25 people have died and 120 others have been injured in the food delivery areas when Israeli troops have opened fire on them. The director of the Al Shifa hospital has called on the population not to go to these "deadly relief points".
