The WHO speaks of chaos in hospitals
This is an untenable situation for the few hospitals that remain, as Sean Casey, emergency coordinator for the World Health Organization, notes. “We saw children, women, young people, elderly people and bleeding women. At Al-Aqsa Hospital, I saw a woman who had multiple gunshot wounds. They tried to distract her, but in the end they couldn’t because she was bleeding so much,” explains Casey.
Despite growing international pressure for an immediate and lasting ceasefire to alleviate the unprecedented humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the Israeli army continues its land, sea and air offensive against Hamas terrorists.
According to updated data from the Gaza Ministry of Health The number of deaths since October 7th now stands at 21,110.
