Hospitals in the south of Gaza have become a refuge for thousands of displaced people.
The medical staff are extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.

Today we are in Al-Aqsa hospital. This hospital is the main hospital for the Middle Area and now covering as well displaced people coming from Gaza and the north of Gaza. The situation here is horrific. The number of patients are enormous. We're talking about more than 600 patients with more than 90% of these patients with open wounds that need dressing and they have a lot of infections that need as well management.

00:00:27:02 - 00:00:37:18
We have to say that the situation here in the hospital is very dangerous. We have a lot of displaced people, number increasing every day, because they have no shelter.

00:00:37:18 - 00:00:46:20
There is an increase in the number of communicable diseases as well within this hospital. So the need is huge. And MSF is trying its best to provide support.
