"Hospitals risk turning into morgues" as no power leaves Gaza's doctor at breaking point.

Gaza's largest hospital told ITV News it is full and can't take any more new patients, while their generator only has a few days of power left.

"Without electricity, hospitals risk turning into morgues,” warned Fabrizio Carboni, regional director of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

When power runs out, it puts "newborns in incubators and elderly patients on oxygen at risk. Kidney dialysis stops, and X-rays can’t be taken,” he said.

More than half of patients are children. The hospital is so overwhelmed that critical care is being conducted on corridor floors.
