Israel lying about fuel delivery to Hospital: Hospital Director

GAZA: The Israeli army has said its ground soldiers had hand-delivered 300 litres of fuel to the Al-Shifa Hospital “for urgent medical purposes”.

AFP was unable to independently verify the footage, or Israel’s claim that Hamas “forbade the hospital from taking it”.

Al-Shifa director Mohammad Abu Salmiya told journalists the Israeli claims were “lies”. The 300 litres the army said had been delivered would power generators for “no more than quarter of an hour” anyway, Abu Salmiya said.

Antonio Guterres, the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General, has censured Israel for turning to "collective punishment of the Palestinians as a response to the October 7 Hamas attacks.

Speaking to CNN, Guterres said that Israel cannot use Hamas' attacks "as a reason for collective punishment of the Palestinian people," Reuters reported.

He also confirmed that 101 UN personnel have been killed in the conflict so far. The UN chief's remarks come as more than 11,000 Palestinians — of which over 5,000 are children have been martyred due to Israeli aggression.
