The UN Security Council is set to vote on a new resolution calling for an 'immediate humanitarian ceasefire' in Gaza during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Aid groups claim doctors are facing an 'unimaginable' situation inside a hospital in southern Gaza and have had to deal with shortages of even basic medical supplies. The groups say surgeons visiting Gaza's European Hospital have reported treating patients with 'large infected open wounds'. In other cases, they say doctors have had to administer emergency nutritional supplies because a lack of food has jeopardised the treatment of patients.

They say the hospital has expanded to 1,000 beds from its original capacity of 200 to accommodate patients from Nasser Hospital, the main hospital in Khan Younis, which Israeli forces raided last month. In a statement released on Monday, the team, organised by Medical Aid for Palestinians, the International Rescue Committee and the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, said healthcare workers had been forced to evacuate or were unable to access the hospital.
