TL;DR Summary

As the Israel-Hamas war continues in Gaza, hundreds of Palestinian families are seeking safety in hospital common areas, setting up tents in corridors, parking lots, and courtyards. These makeshift shelters not only provide temporary housing but also serve as makeshift surgeries and emergency rooms. However, the hospitals are facing severe shortages of medical supplies, including anesthesia, and lack sufficient beds in intensive care units. Attacks on or near medical facilities have also caused explosions and deaths, with ambulances and healthcare workers being targeted. The ongoing violence has taken a toll on the mental and physical well-being of healthcare workers, who are facing exhaustion and lack of resources. The situation in Gaza's health sector is reaching a catastrophic level, with urgent calls for the delivery of medical aid and protection for medical facilities and workers.
