An international team of doctors visiting a hospital in central Gaza was shocked by the gruesome impact Israel's war against Hamas is having on Palestinian children. The doctors described heart-wrenching scenes of toddlers and infants suffering severe injuries from Israeli strikes, with one toddler succumbing to a brain injury and his cousin fighting for her life with part of her face blown off.
Gaza's health sector has been severely affected after nearly six months of war, with roughly a dozen hospitals out of 36 either partially functioning or shut down completely due to fuel and medicine shortages, Israeli raids, or damage from fighting. Hospitals like Al-Aqsa Martyrs are overwhelmed, caring for an increasing number of patients with limited supplies and staff.
