Dwindling supplies and lack of room among the most urgent issues.
Palestinian children wounded in Israeli strikes are brought to Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Oct. 11, 2023. Surgeon Sara Alsaqa told ABC News all the ICU beds are full, the hospital is running out of everything and they are doing 24 hour shifts with only a few hours of rest.continues, putting the lives of civilians and health care workers at risk.
Almoqadam said patients have been admitted to in the hospital corridors without beds due to lack of available room. Still other people are sheltering at the hospital because their homes have been destroyed by air strikes. Meanwhile, Doctors Without Borders told ABC News earlier this week in a statement that a large number of patients received at one of their clinics in Gaza City were children, and that women and children overall make up a disproportionate number of patients injured by air strikes.
Israel declared a "complete siege" of the region earlier this week, blocking food and water and cutting off power to the area.
