Gaza Hospitals Overwhelmed, Patients Face Long Waits for Urgent Surgeries

Gaza Hospitals Overwhelmed, Patients Face Long Waits for Urgent Surgeries

Imagine Gaza's hospitals are like schools that have been damaged by a big storm.

Even though the storm has calmed down a bit, the schools are still broken and have too many students.

Kids who get hurt, like 14-year-old Mohammed, have to wait a very long time for the doctors to fix them, sometimes weeks or even months.

This is because there aren't enough doctors, nurses, or even the right tools and medicines to help everyone.

The hospitals are trying their best, working day and night, but they can only help a few people at a time.

Some students who need help with their legs might end up losing them if they wait too long, and others might get sicker.

Even though more supplies are coming in now, it's not enough to fix everything, and many people are still suffering and waiting for care.
