Gaza's Hospitals are on the Brink: "We're Still in the War"
In a desperate bid to cope with the relentless violence, hospitals in Gaza are running out of essential supplies - including life-saving medication and medical equipment. More than 50 people have been killed, and over 100 injured in recent days alone, according to medics on the ground.
"We are still suffering a severe lack of most of our supplies and medicines," says Mohammed Saqr, director of nursing at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. "We have daily crises, and the same shortages and deficiencies in supplies... We don't feel there is a big change."
Critically low stocks of gauze, antiseptics, thermometers, and antibiotics are being struggled to replenish. The situation is dire, with medics describing a war-like atmosphere where patients are constantly pouring in, only to leave without receiving life-saving treatment.
Gaza's health ministry has reported over 300 deaths since the ceasefire was put in place last month, with many more suffering from malnutrition, adverse weather conditions, and new outbreaks of disease.
Hospitals are struggling to cope with the sheer number of casualties, with Nasser hospital, one of the largest facilities, taking on the burden. "In the last attack we received 12 dead; among them were four children and two women," says Saqr. "And among 24 injuries, 18 were women and children."
The situation is exacerbated by staff shortages and a lack of ambulances, with some medics describing it as a 'humanitarian disaster'. Humanitarian organizations have been working tirelessly to deliver hundreds of tons of supplies into Gaza, but stocks remain woefully insufficient.
Analysts suggest Israel's continued military action may be aimed at degrading Hamas's military capabilities, using the ceasefire as an excuse. The international community remains deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, with many calling for a more concerted effort to secure aid.
Egypt, Qatar, and the US have been mediating between Israel and Hamas, securing the fragile ceasefire agreement. However, it appears that Israel continues to block vital supplies from reaching Gaza, sparking outrage among human rights groups.
As the situation on the ground remains dire, one thing is clear - hospitals in Gaza are fighting a desperate battle to save lives against overwhelming odds.

this is just devastating the fact that hospitals in gaza are running out of basic supplies like gauze and antiseptics is just heartbreaking i mean we know there's been conflict and violence but it feels like no one's doing enough to support the people on the ground. i've been following this situation for a while now, and it just gets worse by the day 
hospitals are understaffed and overworked, with medics struggling to keep up with the sheer number of casualties. how can we expect them to provide adequate care when they're running out of basic supplies? 
it's time for us to raise our voices and demand that something be done to support these amazing healthcare workers who are risking their lives every day 
I'm literally heartbroken when I think about what's happening in Gaza right now... Hospitals are running out of everything essential and patients are dying because they can't get the treatment they need 
. We need to be able to access Gaza and get those supplies in ASAP... The international community needs to step up and do more to support these innocent people 
. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a peaceful resolution soon, but until then, I just want to keep spreading awareness and supporting organizations that are working tirelessly to help 
.
. With life-saving meds and equipment being super scarce, I just can't imagine how hard it must be for the medics on the ground 
. 300+ deaths since the ceasefire? That's insane! 
. It's like they're fighting a war against time 
. I'm all for Israel trying to degrade Hamas's military capabilities, but at what cost? 
The international community needs to step in and help ASAP 
. We can't just sit back and watch as innocent people suffer 
.
, like delivering more aid into Gaza ASAP. And yeah, Israel's military actions might be aiming to weaken Hamas, but at what cost? 
hospitals taking in 12 dead at once, 4 kids included 
but still no supplies are getting in 
. Israel's blocking everything... it's like they're trying to make this crisis worse 
. i'm not saying israel is at fault or anything, but cmon guys! 
let's get some meds & gauze into those hospitals ASAP 
. They're doing their best with what they have but it's just not enough 
It's a humanitarian disaster, plain and simple 
. We need to do more to help these people ASAP 
. They're supposed to be protecting civilians, not putting them in harm's way 
. Something needs to change, and fast 
.
! Hospitals are literally on the brink, with medics struggling to keep up w/ all these casualties 
, we need ACTION! 
but this doesn't seem like any kind of joke for Gaza's hospitals. The situation is getting more and more dire by the day. They're running out of everything - meds, equipment, even basic supplies like gauze and antiseptics. And with staff shortages and a lack of ambulances, it's a miracle anyone is still alive. 
How are people supposed to get the help they need?
The international community needs to step in here and provide some much-needed aid. We can't just sit back and watch people suffer - especially not innocent civilians who are caught in the middle of this conflict.
