These attacks have accelerated in the past 24 hours and today (Saturday) doctors report patients dying by the minute and bodies piling up as critical units are bombed, lifesaving services are suspended and food, water and fuel runs out. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Israel\u2019s continued blockage of fuel for hospitals is fatal, with doctors at Al Shifa hospital \u2013 where Islamic Relief recently delivered medical supplies \u2013 this morning reporting the death of an infant baby as there was no fuel to keep the incubator running. Several more hospitals\u00a0today had to shut down critical services as fuel has finally run out, meaning many more babies and other civilians are likely to die. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Doctors say people are bombed if they stay and bombed if they try to leave. At Al Shifa, doctors say they are now completely cut off and surrounded by Israeli military, preventing anyone from leaving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Inside these hospitals are injured civilians in need of lifesaving treatment; desperate displaced families who hoped a hospital might be a safe place to seek refuge; newborn babies; and long-term patients who need treatment for cancer, kidney disease and other deadly illnesses.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">These indiscriminate attacks on the most vulnerable people cannot be allowed to continue. We appeal once again to the international community to call for a ceasefire now. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Please help Islamic Relief to support people in desperate need in Gaza.
