GENEVA, November 14. /TASS/. All but one of the hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip are out of service due to the lack of power and medical supplies, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said in a report.

"All but one of the hospitals in Gaza city and northern Gaza <...> are reportedly out of service, as of 13 November, due to the lack of power, medical consumables, oxygen, food and water, compounded by bombardments and fighting in their vicinities," the report reads.

According to the UNRWA, "Al Ahli Hospital, in Gaza city, which currently accommodates over 500 patients, is reportedly the sole medical facility able to receive patients, amid increasing shortages and challenges."

World Health Organization (WHO) Spokesperson Margaret Harris said on November 10 that 20 out of Gaza’s 36 hospitals were currently non-operational.

Tensions in the Middle East flared up again after Hamas militants infiltrated Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7. The Palestinian movement described its attack as a response to the actions of Israeli authorities against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Jerusalem's Temple Mount. Israel announced a total blockade of Gaza and started carrying out strikes on the Palestinian enclave, as well as on certain areas in Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank.
