The military said it was preparing a coordinated offensive in Gaza using air, ground and naval forces. An estimated 35,000 displaced civilians have crammed into the grounds of Gaza City's main hospital, sitting under trees in the empty grounds, as well as inside the building's lobby and corridors, hoping they will be protected from the fighting, medical officials said.
“Gaza has been out of water for almost three days, we have no power, no electricity,” said Inas Hamdan, a spokesperson for the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. “If there is no humanitarian corridor, consequences will be catastrophic.”Rami Swailem said he and at least five families in his building decided to stay put in his apartment near Gaza City. “We are rooted in our lands,” he said. “We prefer to die in dignity and face our destiny.
“The situation inside the hospital is miserable in every sense of the word,” he said. “The operating rooms don't stop.”
