Dozens of wounded patients in a hospital in the northern Gaza Strip are in danger of dying because of a dire absence of basic supplies like food and waternuebe gaming, according to local health authorities.

The health ministry in Gaza said in a statement late on Tuesday that 60 wounded people in the Indonesian Hospital in the enclave’s north were “at risk of death due to a lack of food and water” exacerbating their conditions. “The humanitarian situation inside the hospital has become extremely dangerous, as the wounded lack basic needs,” the ministry said, calling on the international community to intervene “to save the lives of these patients.”

The appeal came as the United Nations was marking the 75th anniversary of Human Rights Day, commemorating the date in 1948 when the U.N. General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza had “stained our shared humanity,” undermining the “values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international law, that have been blatantly disregarded in Gaza for the past 14 months,” Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, the main U.N. agency for Palestinians, said in a statement about the occasion on Tuesday.

The Israeli military has continued intense airstrikes and operations in northern Gaza while the world’s attention had lately turned to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon and, in recent weeks, to Syrian rebel forces’ offensive that led to the fall of the Assad regime on Sunday. Since October, Israel’s military has unleashed some of its most devastating attacks yet in northern Gaza in an effort to stamp out what it has called a Hamas resurgence.

On Monday night, 25 people were killed in an airstrike on a house in Beit Hanoun, a town in northern Gaza, according to Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense emergency service. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to requests for comment on that strike. It has called on civilians to evacuate much of northern Gaza, but after being repeatedly displaced for more than a year, many have nowhere to go and some have stayed put.
