Citing doctors, Israeli rights group says 2 premature babies died at Gaza hospital

Two premature babies have died due to power cuts at Gaza’s largest hospital, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel says today citing doctors there, as fighting rages around the Al-Shifa complex.

“As a result of the lack of electricity, we can report that the neonatal intensive care unit has stopped working. Two premature infants have died, and there is a real risk to the lives of 37 other premature infants” at Al-Shifa Hospital, the Israeli doctors’ group says in a statement.
