The World Health Organization and partners managed to access three hospitals in northern Gaza to deliver fuel, lifesaving medical supplies and treatments for children suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

As the death toll in Gaza surpasses 30,000, hospitals there struggle to care for the wounded even as supplies are devastated by attacks and doctors themselves suffer huge personal loss. Dr. Amjad Eleiwa lost 16 family members, his house and his wife's pharmacy but continues trying to save lives. A spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General urged a humanitarian ceasefire, decrying the tragic human toll.

Devastated by Israeli attacks, Al-Amal hospital suffered a ceiling collapse forcing the transfer of patients. Medical workers struggle to care for patients while UN relief teams deliver critical food, medical supplies and fuel.
