The Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) announced on Sunday that the Al-Qudra Hospital is out of service due to a lack of fuel and a power outage.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said in a statement that "Al-Quds Hospital is out of service and no longer operational."

"The cessation of services is due to the depletion of available fuel and power outage," the statement added.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said it "holds the international community and signatories of the Fourth Geneva Convention accountable for the complete breakdown of the health system and the resulting dire humanitarian conditions."

Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip-including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship-since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7.

At least 11,100 Palestinians have been killed, including 4,506 children and 3,027 women. The Israeli death toll, meanwhile, is around 1,200, according to official figures.
