Recent footage from Al-Jazeera and other sources documents an Israeli drone strike that targeted and killed a young Palestinian girl carrying a water container in Jabalia, northern Gaza. The attack occurred amid severe water shortages and famine conditions imposed on the region. Since the escalation of hostilities, Gaza has witnessed heavy casualties, with at least 20 civilians killed in a single day according to Gaza medical sources. Hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed, operating at over 300% bed occupancy with a 60% shortage of medicines. Medical resources are critically low, forcing multiple injured children to share single beds. The Al-Shifa Medical Complex has suffered extensive damage during Israeli ground incursions, further hampering medical care. The United Nations has reported that Gaza now has the largest population of amputees worldwide, many of whom are children injured in the conflict, with limited access to treatment and rehabilitation. Dr. Munir al-Barsh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, highlighted the unprecedented strain on healthcare facilities, underscoring the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
