13 October 2023 10:24 BST
Dr Mai al-Kaila, the Palestinian minister of health, said that there is a “humanitarian and health catastrophe affecting the Gaza Strip” today, as electricity, food and water continue to be cut off in the besieged enclave.
Six hospitals in the Gaza Strip have completely stopped operating.
Residents have no access to showers, toilets, clean running water or food, as Israel continues its heavy bombardment of the Strip.
