Marwan Al-Hams, the director of field hospitals in Gaza, has spoken to Al Jazeera about the deteriorating healthcare situation in the besieged enclave

“The situation in Gaza’s hospitals is catastrophic due to fuel shortages,” he said. “The occupation [by Israel] still prevents the entry of baby milk into the Gaza Strip.”

Al-Hams says the field hospitals are operating with minimal resources, making it extremely difficult to manage the large number of people killed and wounded.
