Ceasefire agreed as Gaza hospitals run out of blood

Fatah fighters stormed a Hamas-affiliated university yesterday — for the second time — hours before the two political factions grappling for control of the Palestinian government said they had agreed on a new ceasefire.

Fifteen people, including four children, were killed in renewed fighting before yesterday’s announcement.

With a total of 22 dead since Thursday afternoon, and thousands of Gazans huddled in their homes to escape the crossfire, doctors said they were running out of blood to treat 245 people wounded in two days of gunfights.
