Gaza’s hospitals are overwhelmed as hundreds of injured Palestinians arrived in the early hours of the morning and continued pouring in throughout the day, Al Jazeera reported. Emergency rooms are packed. Hallways are now operating rooms. Medical staff are treating patients non-stop with limited supplies.
Doctors and nurses say they are working under extreme pressure. Beds are full. Many patients lie on the floor, bleeding and in pain. Ambulances continue to bring in victims of ongoing Israeli airstrikes.
No Shrouds Available for the Dead
Alarming shortages are not limited to medical equipment. There are no shrouds available to bury the dead. According to Al Jazeera’s reporter Hani Mahmoud, this has left grieving families helpless.
“There are no shrouds available inside hospitals,” he said. “It makes it very difficult for surviving family members to offer a proper burial for their loved ones.”
Instead of proper coverings, bodies are wrapped in plastic bags or blankets. Families gather outside morgues, many unable to even perform final rites.
Explosions Shake Shujayea and Zeitoun
Loud explosions were heard early today from eastern Gaza City. The Israeli military continues to carry out strikes in Shujayea and Zeitoun neighborhoods. These areas have witnessed weeks of systematic home demolitions.
“We could clearly hear the loud sound of explosions coming from the eastern part of Gaza City,” said Mahmoud.
Entire buildings have collapsed. Rescue workers dig through rubble with bare hands. Dozens remain missing.
Health System Near Collapse
Gaza’s health system is buckling. Hospitals are running out of supplies, beds, and fuel. Power cuts are common. Backup generators are barely keeping machines running.
Ambulances are also in short supply. Some are unable to reach injured civilians due to blocked roads and destroyed infrastructure.
Water systems have been damaged. Clean drinking water is scarce. Sanitation is worsening, raising fears of disease outbreaks.
Displaced Civilians Face Crisis
Thousands of families have lost their homes. Many now live in overcrowded shelters. Food, water, and medicine are in short supply. Aid agencies warn of a growing humanitarian disaster.
Civilians are in shock. Many have lost children, siblings, and parents in the attacks. Mental health support is unavailable. Fear and trauma spread among the survivors.
Calls for Ceasefire Grow Louder
Human rights groups and international bodies continue to call for an immediate ceasefire. However, the violence shows no signs of slowing down.
Despite the dire conditions, the people of Gaza show remarkable resilience. They continue to help each other survive — even with empty hands.
Conclusion
Gaza’s hospitals are collapsing under the weight of war. With no shrouds for the dead and no beds for the wounded, the situation grows more desperate by the hour. The world watches as innocent civilians pay the price. Immediate global action is needed to stop the suffering and save lives.
