Doctors improvise as Israel blocks essential medical supplies from entering Gaza
Nearly two months into the ceasefire, the healthcare system in Gaza is still on the brink of collapse.
Doctors say they are struggling to save lives because Israel is not allowing essential medical supplies into the Strip. Sweets, mobile phones and even electric bicycles are permitted to enter, but antibiotics, IV solutions and surgical materials are banned.
The Health Ministry describes the shortages as unprecedented. It says Israel is allowing just five trucks carrying medical supplies into Gaza a week. Three go to international organisations such as the UN and its partners, and two to government-run hospitals.
Doctors are improvising with what little they have left, patients are suffering without treatment for chronic illnesses, and families are searching for simple items to make the lives of their loved ones easier – items, they say, should not be this hard to find.
Ceasefire not delivering on its promises across Gaza
Israel is not abiding by the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
At least 600 trucks should be entering the Gaza Strip every day, but what is entering is very little. Cooking gas is only at 16 percent of what is needed; there is a shortage of shelters, tents, tarps and everything Palestinians need to shelter from the rain.
We see Palestinians collecting wood, cartons and anything they can light a fire with.
Meanwhile, Hamas and the Red Cross teams are resuming the search for the body of the Israeli captive in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City. This is the last remaining body, and there is a lot of expectation for Palestinians as to what could happen once it is handed over.
People are asking whether reconstruction is going to start once that happens and whether the Rafah crossing is going to be opened. There are many promises for the Palestinians, but so far, nothing is happening on the ground.
