The United Nations has issued a stark warning that the lives of thousands of patients are at risk if fuel reserves in all of Gaza’s hospitals run out within the next 24 hours. Conditions in Gaza are rapidly deteriorating, with shortages of water, food, power, and medicines putting the population in peril.
As Israeli troops amass near Gaza in anticipation of a ground offensive targeting Hamas militants, Israel has instructed 1.1 million Palestinians in the north of Gaza to move south. Hundreds of thousands have complied, doubling the population of the southern city of Khan Younis overnight.
