"Inside Gaza's Overwhelmed Hospitals: A Doctor's Account"

As Israeli forces advance into the southern city of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, the European Hospital is overwhelmed with patients and displaced civilians seeking shelter. Dr. Ahmed El-Mokhallati, a surgeon at the hospital, describes the collapse of the medical system and the increasing danger as the fighting moves closer. The hospital, originally with a 240-bed capacity, now accommodates around 1,000 patients, with staff feeling unsafe to travel to work due to the IDF's advance. The situation is described as terrifying and horrible, with pressure from the U.S. for Israel to reduce civilian impact, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the IDF vow to complete their mission to destroy Hamas.
