Gaza Medical Crisis: Anesthetics in Short Supply as Red Cross Steps In 🌍🏥

Gaza's hospitals are racing against time as medical supplies dwindle amid ongoing conflict. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) delivered six trucks of water purification systems and emergency medical materials last Friday, but doctors say critical gaps remain.

🚑 \"We've used up all anesthetic drugs,\" said Dr. Nahed Abu Taima at Nasser Medical Hospital, where a new ICRC shipment arrived Sunday. \"Surgeons are operating without proper pain management—this is medieval-level care.\"

The ICRC called the situation a \"humanitarian catastrophe deepening by the hour,\" with their war surgery team now on-site. While emergency medications have been partially restocked, missing anesthetics mean patients face excruciating procedures as trauma cases surge.
