Tel Aviv, November 18: Another premature baby has died at the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza due to lack of proper incubation support, taking the total number of such deaths to five, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Saturday. The hospital authorities said the lack of fuel has led to the power failure of the incubation support.

The Ministry said that a total of 30 premature babies remain in the enclave's largest medical facility.
