Hospitals are overwhelmed, with many closing due to a blockade that has led to shortages of medicine and fuel. Doctors make difficult choices, sometimes using vinegar and shampoo to disinfect wounds. The Israeli army has urged civilians to flee to the south, but even in so-called safe zones, civilians are not fully protected. The humanitarian situation is dire, with shortages of essentials and limited aid reaching Gaza. Dr. Ahmad Mograbi warns of an impending catastrophe if conditions do not improve.
