Gaza's crowded hospitals near breaking point as Israeli ground invasion looms

Palestinians in Gaza are seeking shelter in hospitals and schools as they run low on food and water. Over a million people have fled their homes in anticipation of an Israeli ground invasion targeting Hamas. The military infrastructure of Hamas is hidden in urban areas, making street-by-street fighting likely to result in casualties. Israel has not provided a timetable for the ground incursion. Efforts are being made to reach a humanitarian ceasefire deal at the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt.
