The United Nations agency UNRWA said on 15th October that they are witnessing an unprecedented human catastrophe in Gaza. Mehmood Matar, a surgeon working in Gaza, told BBC that hospitals are completely overwhelmed. There is no water, no electricity, and the network connection is also unstable. He said that he was looking for water.
Another doctor working at Naseer Hospital in Gaza said that fuel is also going to run out. There are 60 patients on dialysis. 35 patients are in ICU they need ventilators. If fuel runs out, it will not be possible to save them. And this isn’t in only one hospital. It’s the same everywhere.
On 17th October, health officials said that the only oncology hospital in Gaza would be shut down within 48 hours if the situation continues like this. And all cancer patients will be left without critical care.
