Hostilities and casualties (Gaza Strip)​

• On 11 November, clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups were reported in and around Gaza city, in several areas in the North Gaza governorate and to a lesser extent in the Middle area. Meanwhile, intense Israeli bombardments from the air, sea, and land continued across the Gaza Strip, while Palestinian armed groups continued launching projectiles toward Israel. Israeli ground troops have maintained the effective severance of the north from the south, except for the “corridor” to the south.
• On 10 November, at about 17:00, an Israeli airstrike hit Al Buraq school in Gaza city, which was being used as a shelter for IDPs, killing 50 people. The Israeli military stated that the airstrike targeted a Palestinian commander hiding in the school.
• On 11 November, following the collapse of services and communications at hospitals in the north, the MoH in Gaza did not update casualty figures. The Palestinian fatality toll in Gaza as of 10 November at 14:00 stood at 11,078, of whom 4,506 were said to be children and 3,027 women. About 2,700 others, including some 1,500 children, have been reported missing and may be trapped or dead under the rubble, awaiting rescue or recovery. Another 27,490 Palestinians have reportedly been injured.

Water and sanitation (Gaza Strip)​

• As of 9 November, following a few days of limited operation, all municipal water wells across the Gaza Strip had to shut down again due to the lack of fuel. As a result, the trucking and pumping of brackish water for non-drinking domestic uses came to a halt.
• Anecdotal reports indicate that people hosted or living near the sea, are reaching the beaches to bath and wash clothes in the sea, as well as carrying seawater to their homes and shelters for domestic consumption. This practice may carry various negative health ramifications due to the high pollution levels of seawater.
• In the north, neither the water desalination plant nor the Israeli pipeline are operational. Similarly, no distribution of bottled water among IDPs accommodated in shelters has taken place for over a week. There is serious concern about dehydration and waterborne diseases following water consumption from unsafe sources.
• UNRWA has been providing about 1.5 litres of potable water and 3-4 litres of non-potable water per person per day in all shelters in the south. In the largest shelter located in Khan Younis (over 21,700 IDPs), UNRWA in partnership with UNICEF, installed a desalination plant, which turns brackish water extracted from wells, into potable water.
• Water entering from Egypt in bottles and jerry cans can only address the drinking needs (three litres per person per day) of about 4 per cent of the people.
• Transfer of solid waste to landfills has largely stopped across the Gaza Strip, due to lack of fuel and insecurity. Waste is accumulating in the streets and outside IDP shelters, creating a high risk of airborne diseases and infestation of insects and rats.

UNICEF calls for protection of Gaza hospitals and children amid "deeply worrying" reports of situation in Al-Shifa​

From CNN’s Kareem El Damanhoury and Abeer Salman

UNICEF is calling for the protection of hospitals and children in Gaza amid “deeply worrying reports” of the situation in the biggest hospital in the strip.

The UN agency, responsible for providing humanitarian aid to children worldwide called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

“Al Shifa hospital in Gaza is without power and we are seeing deeply worrying reports of premature babies dying in incubators,” UNICEF said in its statement released early Sunday local time.

The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza also reported early Sunday shelling in the vicinity of the Al-Shifa Hospital, warning that it is endangering the lives of patients and the displaced people sheltering inside.

CNN cannot independently verify this claim. The Israeli military earlier said there were "clashes" between its troops and Hamas militants around the hospital on Saturday, and rejected suggestions the hospital is under siege.

Earlier, three newborn babies died in the Al-Shifa Hospital after it went “out of service” amid intense fighting in the area, according to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza.

6 people arrested at NYC protests​

Officers were attempting to clear out an area at the northeast corner of East 43rd Street and Lexington Avenue when a person stood in their way, refused to move and "did intentionally place their hands on an officer's chest and push him," the New York Police Department said.

Al’Tariq Calderon-Graves, 28, of Newark, New Jersey, was taken into custody on charges of harassment and obstructing governmental administration.

At that same location, officers were attempting to take another person into custody when that person "pulled on an officer’s shirt, causing the officer to jerk backwards and almost fall onto the ground," according to authorities. The person, identified as Raymond Garcia, also allegedly resisted arrest and fell to the ground, causing an officer to injure his ankle, police said.

Garcia, 34, of Queens, was taken into custody on charges of assault and resisting arrest.

A 17-year-old was also arrested for climbing a light pole during the protest. When he was removed, he damaged several flags on the pole, according to authorities. The juvenile was later released. Three other people arrested were issued summons for disorderly conduct.

Since 2006, the Gaza Strip has been simply cut off from the world. People who were born under this blockade know no other world than war.
They will therefore be more willing to take up arms because they have nothing to lose.

That’s because the Gazans of that time elected Hamas as their government.
That’s why this younger generation has nothing except their indoctrination, hate and rage.

And if the whole world defends terrorism, then yes, the whole world is wrong. Unless anyone believes terrorism is a wonderful thing, how can anyone defend Hamas? How is it possible that ANY human being with a heart and a brain can turn on Israel instead of Hamas?

It’s just like the Holocaust; people who deny atrocities, that they’ve witnessed with their own eyes, because they are anti-Semites with every cell in their bodies.

At least 40 journalists killed in five weeks of conflict, Committee to Protect Journalists says​

From CNN's Kareem El Damanhoury

The number of journalists killed in the Israel-Hamas conflict since October 7 has increased to 40, according to a statement by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) on Saturday.

The most recent to lose his life was photojournalist Ahmed Al-Qara who was killed in a strike near Khan Younis on Friday, the CPJ said, citing the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate and the Cairo-based Al-Dostor newspaper.

The death toll of journalists is comprised of 35 Palestinians, four Israelis, and one Lebanese, according to the CPJ.

The journalism advocacy group says the conflict since October 7 has been the deadliest period for journalists since CPJ starting tracking in 1992.

"CPJ is also investigating numerous unconfirmed reports of other journalists being killed, missing, detained, hurt, or threatened, and of damage to media offices and journalists’ homes," the statement added.

French president calls on people to stand up against the "resurgence of unbridled antisemitism"​

From CNN's Heather Law in Atlanta

French President Emmanuel Macron called on his people to stand up against "the unbearable resurgence of unbridled antisemitism," in a letter published Saturday night by French newspaper Le Parisien.

More than one thousand antisemitic acts were committed in France in one month, Macron wrote, adding that this number is three times more than the number of hate attacks executed against French Jews all of last year.

Macron emphasized that this in turn has caused the Jewish community to experience "legitimate anguish," saying they are going as far as to erase their names to protect themselves.

"A France where our Jewish citizens are afraid is not France. A France where French people are afraid because of their religion or their origin is not France," the letter read.

World Health Organization says it’s lost contact with Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital​

Palestinians at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, November 10, 2023. (Flash90)

The World Health Organization (WHO) says it has lost communication with officials at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, saying it assumes its contacts have joined the stream of an estimated hundreds of thousands of civilians who have fled to the Strip’s south in recent days.

Fighting has raged increasingly closer to the Palestinian enclave’s biggest hospital, under which Israel says the Hamas’s terror group maintains a major command center as part of its vast network of tunnels.

Jerusalem has urged the hospital’s staff and patients, along with all Gaza City residents, to flee south to avoid harm as Israeli forces isolate and attempt to gain control of the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

There have been reports of gunfire targeting civilians seeking to exit the hospital and flee, with Israel saying the shooters are Hamas gunmen and the terror group blaming Israel.
