Gaza Hospitals in Crisis: Doctor Details Dire Shortages After Aid Blockade

Gaza Hospitals Face Dire Shortages Amidst Ongoing Crisis Gaza Strip, Palestine – The humanitarian situation in Gaza's hospitals has reached a critical point, according to Dr. Victoria Rose, a consultant plastic surgeon who recently visited the region. The situation has drastically deteriorated since the blockade of aid began in early March 2025, resulting in severe shortages of essential medical supplies and food. "We haven't had any medical or food aid into the country now for 76 days," Dr. Rose stated, highlighting the severity of the crisis. She described the challenges faced by medical professionals, who are now forced to rely on NGOs to trade surplus supplies to maintain even minimal functionality. The recent bombing of the European Gaza Hospital earlier this week further exacerbated the situation, leaving medical staff scrambling to salvage what they could. Dr. Rose's account underscores the urgent need for international aid to alleviate the suffering and prevent further deterioration of the healthcare system in Gaza. The ongoing crisis in Gaza serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for international humanitarian intervention to prevent a complete collapse of the healthcare system and to alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza.
