Conditions at Gaza's main hospital are "catastrophic," the medical center's director general told CNN Sunday, as the emergency department faces a surge of casualties and electricity and fuel shortages brought on by Israel's airstrikes and blockade.
The US government has pressed Israel to delay its imminent invasion of Gaza to allow for the release of more Hamas hostages and aid into Gaza, according to two sources briefed on the discussions.
Israeli airstrikes on north and central Gaza have killed at least 10 people Friday night into Saturday, the Hamas-run Ministry of Interior in Gaza said in a statement early Saturday local time.
