A spokesman for Gaza's health ministry
told Al Jazeera news that the region's
healthcare system was nearing collapse.
.
According to the ministry, hospital generators
would stop operating within 48 hours, bringing
the healthcare system to "the worst stage in its history.".
We are talking about a complete
collapse of the health system,
which has become unable to deal
with the large number of wounded
arriving at hospitals, with limited
capabilities to treat the wounded,
in addition to the rapid depletion of fuel,
which will lead to a power outage, Gaza health ministry spokesman, via NBC.
We are only a few hours away from hospitals
being out of service, and this was confirmed
by international organizations familiar
with the health situation in the Gaza Strip, Gaza health ministry spokesman, via NBC.
'Time' reports that attacks on healthcare facilities
and widespread civilian displacement have
dramatically increased the burden on the system.

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan made a dramatic statement at the United Nations General Assembly by tearing up the UN Charter in protest just before the assembly passed a resolution supporting full membership for Palestine. The resolution, which received overwhelming support with 143 votes in favour, asked the Security Council to grant full membership to Palestine, currently holding observer status at the UN. Twenty-five countries abstained from the vote, while nine, including the United States and Israel, voted against it. Erdan criticised the resolution as a "clear violation" of the UN Charter and accused it of circumventing the US veto in the Security Council. He described his actions as a symbolic reflection of the assembly's disregard for the principles outlined in the UN Charter.

India's U.N. vote supports Palestine's full membership, drawing fire from Israel. UAE introduces the resolution at UNGA, with 143 votes in favor. Palestine gains the right to speak and participate in U.N. meetings. Israel's ambassador tears up the U.N. Charter in protest, likening the move to admitting "modern-day Nazis." India's move may strain its historically strong ties with Israel.

Lord Cameron has warned Britain and the wider West is "at a crossroads" at the Lord Mayor's Banquet in London and that "our adversaries will write our future for us" if countries fail to act. The foreign secretary added he would like the fighting to stop in Gaza "now", but that calling for an immediate ceasefire "does not make that more likely". Report by Brooksl.
