Gaza's Desperate Crisis: Fleeing Civilians, Overwhelmed Hospitals, and Disease Outbreaks

As the Israeli army pushes deeper into Gaza City, hospitals and UN-run facilities that have provided refuge to civilians in the past are collapsing, leaving hundreds of thousands of people in northern Gaza in harm's way. With limited access to basic resources and surrounded by death and destruction, civilians are desperate to flee but face extreme danger in doing so. The situation is exacerbated by the bombardment of traditionally safe spaces, including hospitals, violating international law and potentially constituting war crimes. Humanitarian agencies describe the situation as catastrophic, while Israel denies the existence of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
