Two newborns lie side by side in a single incubator at a southern Gaza hospital, Al-Monitor reported, as the facility grapples with acute shortages of equipment and space. The ward operates with monitors beeping and doctors consulting nearby, stretched thin by the volume of premature births requiring intensive care.
Gaza's hospitals face compounding strain from insufficient incubators and medical supplies needed to treat vulnerable infants. The shortage reflects broader resource constraints affecting the territory's healthcare system.
