Medics: 'The healthcare system in Gaza has fallen apart'

A doctor for Medical Aid for Palestinians in Gaza says that the healthcare system in the besieged enclave has now fallen apart due to Israeli bombardment.

“Last night was horrific. The system has fallen apart - not even the best triage system can withstand this. The operating rooms are full. We have run out of morphine. There's no space for dignity in dying,” doctor James Smith said.

Team members on the ground added that the sound of air strikes is “constant” and that hundreds were wounded overnight on Thursday evening.

“The bombing in Nuseirat and Bureij means that many healthcare workers can't come in because they can no longer safely move, or they're being displaced to the south,” Smith added.
