On Friday night, Hamas said its officials would resume meetings in the Qatari capital of Doha to reach a cease-fire deal. And Israel said last week that it was also sending a delegation of midlevel security officials to meet with mediators in Qatar.
Numerous earlier rounds of negotiations have faltered amid gaps in the two sides’ demands. And as hopes for a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas rise again, Palestinians and human rights organizations say the humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting even more desperate.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said on Sunday that overnight Israeli airstrikes near Al-Amal Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis caused significant damage to several hospital facilities and killed one person.
And Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday that the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza was no longer providing services to patients or the wounded — leaving the northern part of the enclave without any functioning hospitals amid constant bombardment.
