UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell denounced the consequences of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza in an interview with Le Monde. According to Gaza's Hamas-run Health Ministry, over 4,600 children have been in Israeli bombardments since the war began on October 7.

On Saturday, November 12, two major hospitals in the north of Gaza closed to new patients after Israeli bombardments truck around both facilities. Medical staff at the Al Shifa and Al Quds hospitals were left without oxygen and fuel to power incubators. Doctors reported several deaths, including the deaths of premature babies, due to the deteriorating conditions.

Meanwhile, France has announced that it will increase its humanitarian aid to Palestinians from €20 million to €100 million by 2023, announced French President Emmanuel Macron at the opening of the International Humanitarian Conference for Gaza at the Elysée Palace.
