The UN is warning that its fuel in the Gaza Strip may run out and hospitals are already rationing care to critical cases only.
On Tuesday night (24), the UN said one third of hospitals and nearly two-thirds of primary healthcare clinics in Gaza had already shut down due to damage from the war and a lack of fuel.
Israel cut off electricity to Gaza following the Hamas attacks on 7 October - which means the territory is dependent on backup generators that run on fuel.
Gaza shelters are four times over capacity
UNRWA, the UN agency set up for Palestinian refugees, says its shelters are so overwhelmed they are housing four times their capacity.
The agency says nearly 600,000 people are sheltering in 150 facilities. These include schools and healthcare sites.
It tweeted that many people are sleeping in the streets as it cannot take in any more.
