GAZA STRIP: A total of five premature babies and seven critical patients have died in Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital, a Hamas official said Sunday, as the facility suffers fuel shortages amid intense fighting between Israeli troops and Hamas.

"We fear the toll will rise further by morning," said Youssef Abu Rish, deputy health minister in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.--AFP
