Gaza hospital chief warns of ‘crisis’ as supplies dwindle

Gaza's top hospital director warned Sunday that medics are facing multiple crises amid deadly violence between Palestinian militants and Israel, with drugs and electricity supplies urgently needed to keep treating patients.

Muhammad Abu Salmiya said wounded people were arriving "every minute" at Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

"There is a crisis in medicine, a crisis in drugs, a crisis in electricity," said Salmiya, the hospital's director general.
