Gaza hospitals face crisis, lack medical supplies and aid

Gaza hospitals facing crisis: shortage of anesthesia, painkillers, and essential supplies.

Gaza hospitals are facing a dire crisis amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) calling for immediate action to preserve life-saving medical services. As the conflict intensifies, only two referral hospitals remain functional in the entire Gaza Strip, equipped to provide advanced surgeries and accommodate large numbers of patients.

One of the hospitals in critical condition is the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. The Hamas-run Ministry of Health has reported a scarcity of anesthesia and painkillers, leaving medical practitioners in a desperate situation. Additionally, due to the escalating violence, graves have been dug on the hospital grounds to prepare for potential deaths.
