Seven infants, including four fetuses and three premature babies, have died at Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza due to malnutrition, the Israeli siege, and a lack of suitable environmental conditions, as reported by Al Jazeera English at approximately 9:01 AM UTC on September 15th, 2025. The deaths underscore the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with ongoing military operations potentially exacerbating conditions. Earlier this morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimated that over 320,000 Palestinians had evacuated Gaza City ahead of a planned offensive, following an evacuation order issued last week directing civilians to southern humanitarian zones. Approximately 20,000 people reportedly left Gaza City overnight. In unrelated developments, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant were meeting in Jerusalem this morning to discuss the ongoing situation. Separately, Madrid Mayor José Luis Martínez Almeida stated on September 15th that there is "no genocide in Gaza," according to a post on X. President Donald Trump has also reiterated his support for Qatar as an ally and urged Israel to exercise caution in its Gaza operations, statements made on September 15th and September 14th. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is also withholding the publication of conclusions from a committee examining the treatment of reserve soldiers who have died by suicide. The committee's findings have not yet been presented to Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, with IDF officials citing operational situations as a reason for the delay.
