Amid heavy israeli shelling and air raids, the healthcare authority in Gaza has reported that 18 hospitals, including eight state-run facilities, have been forced to halt their operations.

The situation within these medical facilities is described as catastrophic, particularly in the northern regions of Gaza.

Reports indicate severe shortages of essential supplies such as medicines, food, and fuel in hospitals across northern Gaza. This critical situation has emerged following an escalation in the Middle East.

The ramifications of the Israeli aggression have led to a dire humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, with hospitals struggling to function and access basic necessities, further exacerbating the already precarious situation in the region. (ILKHA)
