A group of prematurely born babies from Gaza's Al Shifa hospital were evacuated to Egypt for urgent treatment on Monday. All of them are in a serious condition, according to the World Health Organization, which also condemned an Israeli attack on another hospital in northern Gaza.

The United States has joined Israel in striking nuclear targets in Iran. It follows an escalating broader conflict in the region including the ongoing Gaza war.

Newborns moved from Gaza to Egypt for urgent care

Medical staff carefully place newborn babies in mobile incubators on the Egyptian side of Rafah border. They were born in Gaza's Ashifa hospital, which was seized by Israeli forces last week. A first group of 28 premature babies was evacuated on Monday and taken for urgent treatment. The babies have captured global attention since images emerged of them lying side by side on beds after their incubators were switched off for want of power. When doctors at Ashifa first raised the alarm, there were 39 babies. Eight have since died. Israeli troops are searching for what they say is a vast Hamas tunnel network built beneath the hospital. Rick Brennan of the World Health Organization said the babies have a long road to go with all of them in serious or critical condition. We're cautiously optimistic they will do well, but we have to watch them very, very, very closely. They can still develop further complications and deteriorate acutely. They're not out of the woods yet by any means, so they will need that intensive care for some time to come. Lubna Assar, ex-baby daughter, was recovering from respiratory problems when the hospital came under siege. But during these 10 days when the hospital was surrounded, there was no milk and she kept getting worse. She was back to zero to live in on oxygen again, and her situation was the worst out of all the babies. The WHO also condemned a deadly assault on Gaza's Indonesian hospital. The complex was encircled by Israeli tanks on Monday. Reuters verified the location, but not the date of this footage. Like all other health facilities in Gaza's north, the Indonesian hospital has largely ceased operations, but is still sheltering patients, staff and displaced residents. Israel said it was responding to fire from inside. Meanwhile at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the south, more children are brought in, injured in a nearby Israeli strike. The war was triggered when Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 Israelis and taking 240 hostage. Israel has responded with a relentless bombardment of Gaza and a ground invasion, which the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave says have killed 13,000 people.

Indonesian rescuers on Thursday (July 3) temporarily halted a search for 30 people still missing after a ferry carrying 65 people sank near the island of Bali with the loss of six lives, the national search and rescue agency said.
