     The WHO says it has lost communication with its contacts inside al-Shifa, the largest hospital in Gaza.

      Several hospitals in Gaza City and northern Gaza have been “directly hit” as Israel intensifies attacks around hospitals, the UN says. There are fears for hundreds of patients, including 37 premature babies in al-Shifa Hospital, as electricity fails in multiple hospitals.

      Thirteen people have been killed in an attack on a residential building in eastern Khan Younis and many more have been injured.

      At least 11,078 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. These figures may not be the latest as several hospitals lost contact on Saturday, delaying updates from the Gaza Ministry of Health, according to the UN.

      In Israel, after a downward revision, the death toll now stands at more than 1,200.
