“We have gone back in time – to the stone age,” writes Alaa Abu Shammala from Gaza. “No water or electricity or internet. Imagine living in the 21st century and you don’t have access to life’s basic necessities.”

Families of those held captive in Gaza are marching from the central Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv to the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem to demand the government prioritize the issue and “bring them home now,” The New York Times reported. “We think the Israeli government should pay any price,” said one participant, referring to the range of options believed to be available including a ceasefire, fuel delivery to Gaza or a prisoner exchange for Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

There is only one hospital in all of northern Gaza that is “still operational at a minimum level,” the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian affairs reported. The rest of the hospitals in the area, which includes Gaza City, “have ceased operations due to the lack of power, medical consumables, oxygen, food and water, compounded bombardments and fighting in their vicinities,” OCHA said. Overall, 22 out of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are “non-functional due to lack of fuel, damage, attacks and insecurity,” the agency added

The health ministry in Gaza reported that al-Shifa hospital staff prepared “for a mass grave inside the compound to bury 180 bodies of patients, which cannot be evacuated due to the intense fighting,” OCHA reported.

More than 100 workers from the UN agency for Palestine refugees have been killed by Israeli military bombardment of the Gaza Strip since 7 Oct. “Mostly in their homes with their families,” according to UNRWA.

The World Health Organization warned that “the evacuation of hospitals in the north, as demanded by the Israeli military, would be a ‘death sentence’ for some patients, because operational hospitals in the south cannot admit more patients,” reported OCHA.
