A four-day-old child, Mohammed, is the only survivor at the intensive care unit (ICU) of Kamal Adwan’s Hospital in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, witnesses told Al Jazeera from the facility, which has been under the Israeli military siege.

Israeli artillery last week targeted the hospital’s facilities, including the ICU, killing several children. Patients have been battling to stay alive amid electricity outages and a severe shortage of basic supplies, including IV solutions.

Mohammed’s family was reported to have been killed and the baby was struggling to survive after the oxygen station that aided his breathing was destroyed.
