120 incubator babies at risk after Israel cuts Gaza fuel: UN

JERUSALEM: The lives of at least 120 newborn babies on incubators in war-torn Gaza hospitals are at risk as fuel runs out in the besieged enclave, the UN children agency warned Sunday.
More than 1,750 children have already been killed by Israeli strikes launched against the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the October 7 Hamas attacks, according to the Palestinian territory health ministry.
Hospitals face a dire lack of medicines, fuel and water not only for the thousands wounded in more than two weeks of the war between Gaza militants and Israel but also for routine patients.
