Gaza's health system is collapsing and cannot afford to lose any more ambulances, hospitals, or beds, warns the World Health Organization. Only 14 out of 36 hospitals in Gaza are functioning, and weeks of fighting have left vast areas in ruins. The population, facing shortages of food, fuel, water, and medicine, is desperate, with people resorting to cutting down telephone poles for firewood. Health workers are lacking food and water, and patients are suffering on the floor in overcrowded trauma wards. The situation calls for an immediate ceasefire.
