Blackout in Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Hospital as fuel runs out, babies at high risk

“We’re trying to work with what we have. But we will have to stop working completely, because we don’t have any electricity,” one doctor at the hospital told Al Jazeera. “There’s a complete outage so how can we treat the patients?”

Particularly at risk were premature and newborn babies, as well as patients in intensive care units. Gaza’s Government Media Office in a statement said they were at extreme risk of death.

Earlier footage showed medical staff in dark rooms trying to work with flashlights.

“We worked on the light of mobile phones to take care of the condition of children in intensive care, and the devices work on secondary power, and if they stop, the children lose their lives,” said Dr Warda al-Awawdeh, who works in the nursery unit.

Why would Hamas do this?

Israel controls the electrical grid in Gaza.

But you already knew that, didn’t you?

Benefit of the doubt it is a reference to this meme.

It's a meme reference like the other guy said.

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic but they dug the tunnels throughout Gaza City and then launched tens of thousands of rocket attacks from within them, culminating with the October 7 attack by Hamas soldiers, which was basically a bunch of wanton, orchestrated mass shootings of innocent families–from Israel and all over the world–while they attended concerts went out to dinner and stuff, killing, executing some point blank, 1,300 people, and then kidnapping another 250.

I’m can’t figure out, what did they think was going to happen, they were just going to retreat back into the tunnels and the tunnels would not be consider fair military targets? Did they think they were going to go back inside the tunnels and then wake up the next morning and go about like a regular day? I genuinely don’t even have a guess as to what they thought the end game was on October 7, other than the tunnels being completely destroyed.

Now the whole place is unstable and nothing works.

Edit: 1,300 not 1,200. Also moved a word to make it clear that some of the deceased were executed. The substantial majority were killed in hectic mass shootings, again, videos of which you may go and watch if you think it was excusable.

That's bold-faced Israeli propaganda. 1139 people died, out of which 1/3 were IDF soldiers, and an unknown number of people were accidentally or intentionally killed by the IDF (see: IDF orders to not let Hamas soldiers return to Gaza "even if they had hostages"). And then we have the people who just died in the crossfire. Until evidence says otherwise, October 7 was a legitimate military attack against the Israeli occupation (not denying that many Hamas soldiers committed war crimes).

Now the whole place is unstable and nothing works.

That's just been Gaza for the past 18 years thanks to the blockade.

Edit: Typo.

I am aware that one third were border police responding to mass shootings and organized kidnappings, and Hamas soldiers ambushed a bunch of first repsonders, didn’t think I needed to include that detail because its obvious. Hey did you also know like one third of the people killed on 9/11 were first responders?

Your conclusion that this was legitimate is delusional. These were mass shootings against regular people, along with kidnappings, rape, and executions. You can go and watch raw videos of the attacks yourself. Women and kids laid up shot and burned.

You’re rewriting how this war started.

I condemn all atrocities that were committed on October 7th, but:

I am aware that one third were border police responding to mass shootings and organized kidnappings,

This is nonsense. The attack's main objectives were dealing damage to the IDF and taking hostages. The implication that they were secondary is so far from fact I can only assume you're intentionally spreading misinformation.
