The Palestinian Ministry of Health has called on international health organisations to help establish field hospitals in Gaza.
The call comes after Cardon Christian, the chief protection officer at the International Committee of the Red Cross, said: "The lifeline to Gaza is starting to be inexistant."
In a post made on social platform X, Christian added that it was: "Time for Action. It’s time for respite. It’s time for Humanity & Protection."
