Palestinians in besieged Gaza are crowding into hospitals and schools.
RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Palestinians in besieged Gaza crowded into hospitals and schools on Monday, seeking shelter and running low on food and water. More than a million people have fled their homes ahead of an expected Israeli ground invasion aimed at destroying Hamas after its fighters rampaged through southern Israel.
“Water is needed to ensure sanitary conditions on inpatient wards, in operation rooms, and emergency departments. It is essential for the prevention of hospital associated infections and for the prevention of outbreaks in hospitals,” the WHO said. The U.N. health agency said life-saving assistance for 300,000 patients is currently awaiting entry through Rafah.
