The hospitals run by the Red Crescent in Gaza are overcrowded and in dire need of resources, and the humanitarian situation in the sector remains extremely difficult. This was stated to Izvestia by Frank Morhauer, head of the representative office of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Russia and the Republic of Belarus.

"Our hospitals are absolutely overcrowded. Medical institutions that lose the support of the international community immediately stop coping with the flow of patients. This inevitably affects the entire population," Morhauer stressed.

According to him, the Palestinian Red Crescent operated several hospitals in Gaza, and now the exact scale of operation of these facilities remains unclear, but some of them continue to operate despite the difficult conditions.

"We are deeply concerned about the general humanitarian situation in Gaza — the situation of the civilian population. The Palestinian Red Crescent is very active in Gaza, it provides humanitarian aid. We lost our colleagues there, and we really hope that this humanitarian situation will be alleviated soon. I do not have any information about the condition of the hostages," the representative office noted.
