Gaza's Overwhelmed Hospitals: Chaos, Horror, and Desperate Searches for Safety
Hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed with patients as Israeli airstrikes continue to devastate the region. Israel has called for civilians in northern Gaza to evacuate, but many patients are too weak or injured to flee. The World Health Organization has called on Israel to rescind the evacuation order, as moving critically injured patients amid hostilities puts their lives at immediate risk. Doctors without Borders has condemned the evacuation directive as an attack on medical care and humanity. Hospitals are lacking medical supplies, and the packed intensive care units are forcing doctors to choose which patients receive life-saving treatment. The anticipated loss of fuel and internet access will further hinder the ability to treat Gaza's wounded.
