Gaza Hospitals in Crisis: Shortages of Supplies, Fuel, and Water

TL;DR Summary
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has reported scenes of chaos and exhaustion in Gaza's hospitals due to a total blockade, critical fuel shortage, and relentless Israeli bombing. Hospitals are rapidly running out of fuel and medical supplies, and are functioning as shelters for thousands of displaced people. The lack of water and sanitation is increasing the risk of disease outbreaks. The UN and WHO have warned that operations will cease without new fuel deliveries, and a humanitarian emergency of unprecedented scale is imminent if the blockade is not lifted.
