Doctors in the Gaza strip have “nothing left” to treat Palestinians wounded in Israeli airstrikes, Dr Margaret Harris from the World Health Organisation says.
“We have got 27 cubic metres of supplies waiting on the airstrip to go in, waiting on trucks, but we can’t get them in,” she told Today.
“We have teams inside Gaza who were doing their best to purchase supplies from the local market and get those to hospitals, but that’s all running out.
“So you’re asking doctors to try to treat people with terrible injuries with nothing.”
Harris said it was the innocent who were suffering and dying, and that humanitarian access to Gaza was needed.

“It really is like screaming into a vacuum,” she said.
“I do hope and pray that the right voices are getting to the right ears and that something will change.”
She said 40 to 60 per cent of the people killed in the current round of conflict had been children.
“This is not about, you know, two different warring sides. This is about children being killed,” she said.
