Gaza City, December 30 (RHC)-- Israeli forces continue to pound Gaza, a day after attacks that killed 30 people, including seven in an assault on al-Wafaa Hospital in Gaza City.  The nearby Ahli Hospital was also shelled.

Gaza’s Government Media Office says a “significant” cold front will affect the Strip in the coming hours and days, amid reports that a fifth baby has died from hypothermia.

Calls are also growing for the release of Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital who was arrested after Israeli forces stormed the facility and set fire to it on Friday.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,484 Palestinians and wounded 108,090 since October 7, 2023.  At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
