According to the Associated Press, dozens of Palestinians are killed every day in Israel’s fierce raid campaign in response to an unprecedented attack by Hamas forces last weekend.

Doctors at Shifa hospital, the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip, said the facility currently has no space to place the bodies of victims killed in attacks or those who died after being brought out.

The morgue at Shifa hospital can usually only receive about 30 bodies at a time, but now hospital staff have to stack bodies in freezers and place dozens of other bodies next to each other in the parking lot.

`Body bags keep coming in and now the area has become a cemetery. I’m mentally and physically exhausted. I have to avoid thinking about how much worse things will get.`

The Israeli army said that this force has dropped about 6,000 bombs with a total weight of up to 4,000 tons on the Gaza Strip since Hamas forces launched an offensive campaign on October 7.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, as of the evening of October 12, the number of deaths in the Gaza Strip was estimated at 1,537 people, including about 500 children, and 6,612 others were injured.

The number of bodies was so large that the medical system in the Gaza Strip was overloaded and fell into crisis.

`We are in a critical situation. Ambulances cannot reach the wounded, the victims are not receiving special care, the dead are not being taken to the morgue,` spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra

White body bags were lined up.

`Patients are lying on the streets. Injured people are lying on the streets. We cannot find beds for them,` said Mohammad Abu Selim, head of Shifa hospital.

With scarce resources, medical facilities are understaffed and it takes hours for ambulances to get victims to treatment as airstrikes have devastated roads.

As intense shelling hit the Shati refugee camp just north of Gaza City along the Mediterranean coast, the wounded flooded into hospitals.

`I have been to many places, witnessed many horrifying scenes and shelling, but nowhere has it been at this level of horror,` said local photojournalist Attia Darwish, 36, when witnessing the

The only power plant in Gaza has run out of fuel since October 11.

Shifa hospital leaders said the hospital’s last fuel source will run out in three or four days.

`If that happens, disaster will come within five minutes,` warned Naser Bolbol, head of the hospital’s neonatal department.
