Gaza hospitals under strain: Israeli blockade puts patients at risk

Hospitals in Gaza have been treating the wounded since the war began, but they have been constantly overwhelmed. Many patients have no choice but to sleep on the floor, and some require help that the hospitals are unable to provide. Due to the closure of the Rafah crossing to Egypt, patients cannot receive necessary treatment abroad. The Israeli blockade is also denying Gaza’s hospitals essential medical supplies, worsening the situation. Doctors warn that if the blockade is not lifted, many more will die, urging international organisations to pressure Israel to open the crossing and allow aid in.
