‘Life has brought us to the end of what we can bear’: Displaced Gaza City resident
A displaced Palestinian has described to Al Jazeera his struggles trying to survive and find a place of shelter for his family since they were forced to flee Gaza City.
“We do not have a tent, nor do we have money to rent a house. There is no wood, no shelter, nothing at all,” said the man. “As you can see, we are here with nothing.”
Flanked by his children, as he rested next to a vehicle, he said they had come to their current location because they had been wrongly told that there would be humanitarian camps there.
“We came based on what people were saying. Now we are out in the sun,” he said. “Life has brought us to the end of what we can bear.”
Child dies of malnutrition in southern Gaza

Doctors won’t abandon patients at al-Shifa as Israel destroys Gaza City
Israeli tanks are advancing as part of the systematic destruction of Gaza City from land, air and sea, but for doctors at the major urban centre’s al-Shifa Hospital, leaving patients is not an option.
The hospital was once the largest medical complex in the Gaza Strip, but most of it now lies in ruins after several rounds of intense Israeli sieges since the start of the war in October 2023. Palestinians still view it as a symbol of strength and resilience.
What remains of the building of a former clinic has now been turned into an emergency ward that is forced to treat an overwhelming number of Palestinians wounded by Israel. Part of the bombed surgery department has been transformed into an intensive care unit for bedridden patients.
Many displaced Palestinians are also surviving famine and Israeli attacks in the area around the hospital.
