A doctor at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital says the situation there remains dire, Al Jazeera reports.

“Conditions are getting even worse and worse, day by day,” the doctor said.

Out of fuel, the hospital is unable to run equipment like x-ray machines, and carry out operations, and medicines for injuries and traumas are very scarce, the doctor said.

“The medical staff are over-exhausted, they work around the clock,” the doctor added, also saying many fled to the south of the Strip to escape fighting in the north.

“We deal with scores of injuries and killed people, and the traumas range from medium to critical. Even critical ones require specialised interventions that we lack here … We ask for the medical staff to be allowed back and to have fuel.”
