“Gaza's healthcare sector is still gradually deteriorating. Some hospitals are partially damaged. Number of patients is huge. There's a big issue with medical supplies. All international medical NGOs are suffering from delays in supplies entering Gaza. The situation is getting worse and worse. We have three hospitals partially functioning in the south of the Gaza Strip which are overwhelmed with trauma patients as well as normal patients. There is one hospital in the middle area which is run by the government and serves more than one million people who are sheltering there [in central Gaza]. In the pediatric ward, for example, there are 40 beds for 200 children who are lying on the floor.”
