Egypt Receives 29 Incubated Babies From Al-Shifaa Hospital In Gaza

According to Al Kahera Al Ikhareya and Sky News Arabia, Egypt has received 29 incubated babies from Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza after Israel’s military operation continued to surround the hospitals.

The Israeli war machine has reportedly bombed the last working generator at the hospital, cutting off the oxygen, electricity, and heat from the incubators.

Approximately 5 of the original 29 babies have already tragically lost their lives due to insufficient healthcare.

This led President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to direct the Minister of Health and Population Khaled Abdel Ghaffar to get in contact with Al Shifa’s Hospital manager to arrange the transfer of the remaining premature babies to hospitals in Al Arish.

Minister of Health announced that 36 ambulances were ready and equipped to receive the babies.
