Every day, dozens of wounded Palestinians are being brought to Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza, even though the facility is totally full, a spokesperson for the hospital has told Al Jazeera Arabic.

The influx of new patients has forced the facility to set up outdoor tents to treat the wounded, the spokesperson said, adding that the conditions are unsanitary and health workers lack essential supplies.

“We lack medical supplies, medicines and fuel,” the spokesperson said. “We lack the necessary tools in the operating rooms, specifically for orthopaedics.”
