Israel Defence Forces says it delivered 300 litres of fuel to Shifa hospital for 'urgent medical purposes'

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said its troops have delivered 300 litres of fuel to  Shifa hospital for urgent medical purposes.

"Our troops risked their lives to hand-deliver 300 litres of fuel to the Shifa hospital for urgent medical purposes," IDF posted on X.

The defence body also shared a video of its troops delivering fuel to the hospital.

"Hamas forbade the hospital from taking it. Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry has been warning for weeks that its hospitals are running out of fuel. If so, why would they prevent the hospital from receiving it?" IDF said.

Meanwhile, UN agencies issued an urgent call for international action on Sunday to end the ongoing attacks on hospitals, as Israeli forces battle Palestinian militants in the heart of the Gaza Strip.

The regional directors of the UN sexual and reproductive health agency (UNFPA), children’s agency UNICEF and health agency WHO, said they were “horrified” at latest reports which indicate many have been killed – including children – in facilities across Gaza city and other northern areas of the Strip.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society is reporting that the second largest hospital in Gaza, Al-Quds, is in effect out of service due to fuel shortages with the NGO saying it has only been able to make sporadic contact with the facility.
