    GAZA, Oct 27 (Reuters) - A medical team and 10 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Friday via the Rafah crossing with Egypt, carrying water, food and medicine, a Palestinian border official told Reuters.

    Gaza has been hit by unrelenting Israeli air strikes in response to the cross-border attack by Hamas gunmen into southern Israel on Oct. 7.

    The World Food Programme said at the same U.N. briefing that 21 of 23 bakeries it worked with in Gaza have had to shut due to fuel shortages.

    “We are aware of the 1,000 patients that require dialysis and over 100 children and babies that are in incubators, so we do our best to try and make the prioritisation in accordance with the greatest needs,” Hastings said.

    Already, 12 hospitals or about a third of the total in Gaza have shut down due to damage or lack of fuel, the U.N. humanitarian office said on Friday.

    The World Health Organization’s Richard Peeperkorn described scenes of patients being operated on in hospital corridors without anaesthetics and medical supplies being “ripped off” delivery trucks.
