Gaza's Health Crisis: A Desperate Battle for Survival
International pressure on Israel to halt its war in Gaza intensifies as Israeli tanks and troops push into Khan Younis, the largest city in southern Gaza. Diplomats and U.N. officials warn of the dire situation, with a lack of food and mass displacement of nearly 2 million Palestinians. Gaza's health system is described as "on its knees," with hospitals overwhelmed and medical teams losing control. The United States has called for the protection of civilians in Gaza but has also increased military and diplomatic support for Israel. The death toll in Gaza rises, and the World Health Organization warns of a collapsing health system and the urgent need for a cease-fire.
