Mothers and newborn babies in Gaza are enduring desperate circumstances as Nasser hospital becomes overwhelmed by patients escaping from the north, struggling with limited medical resources, according to a report by UNICEF on Friday.
The World Health Organization stated that Gaza's health system is teetering on the edge of collapse due to increased patient inflow from areas heavily affected by Israel's military actions against Hamas, concentrated in Gaza City.
With only 14 out of 36 hospitals partially operational, critical shortages are affecting essential items like dressing kits and oxygen supplies, highlighting the dire need for humanitarian assistance in the region.
