Packed hospitals, treacherous roads, harried parents: Newborns in Gaza face steeper odds of survival

Associated Press  

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — The birth of their daughter should have marked the beginning of a joyful chapter for the young Palestinian couple. The war, triggered by a deadly Oct. 7 Hamas assault on southern Israel, has unleashed unimaginable destruction, with more than 18,000 Palestinians killed and close to 50,000 wounded in Israel’s offensive, according to health officials in Hamas-run Gaza. The severe shortage of fuel is another major concern for hospitals that have run solely on generators since the early days of the war when Israel cut Gaza’s electricity supply. “Electricity sometimes comes on for a few minutes” before dropping off, said Wisam Shaltout, head of the neonatal intensive care unit at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Heeding the warnings, Salim, a heavily pregnant Israa and their 5-year-old son fled their home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City and headed south on foot.
