This is the best summary I could come up with:
Patients are being operated on without anaesthetic in Gaza because supplies are so low, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned, as it announced that its own warehouse of medicine in the strip is now completely empty.
Doctors are having to make “impossible choices” as medical supplies rapidly run out amid a total siege imposed by Israel, while despite attempts to open a humanitarian corridor with Egypt, such a measure has yet to be put in place.
The blockade, combined with the continued Israeli bombings of the 42km-long enclave, has triggered “critical shortages” of items including morphine, saline solution and surgical supplies, which the WHO says will run out “in days”.
The warnings of failing supplies come amid concerns for those wounded in a deadly strike on a hospital in northern Gaza on Tuesday night, which is thought to have killed hundreds of people including displaced children.
Wednesday evening, after visit by US President Joe Biden, Israel has said it “will not thwart” deliveries of food, water or medicine from Egypt, as long as they are limited to civilians in the south of the Gaza Strip and don’t go to Hamas militants.
Fuel for generators powering hospitals will run out in days, and food stocks are diminishing, prompting fears that civilians will die from thirst, water-borne diseases and hunger as well as in bombings.
