Gaza’s health ministry has provided an update on the conditions at hospitals in the coastal enclave amid ongoing Israeli attacks, Al Jazeera reports.

Here are its translated comments:

  • Operating rooms, intensive care units and emergency rooms are experiencing catastrophic conditions with an increase in serious injuries.
  • Shortages of life-saving medicines, medical supplies and diagnostic imaging equipment prevent urgent surgical interventions for the wounded.
  • Medical teams are working under complex conditions and extended hours in attempts to treat the wounded and save their lives.
  • Community appeals for blood donations have become ineffective as malnutrition among citizens worsens.
  • Generators are operating on limited fuel reserves to supply vital departments with electricity.
