  • Healthcare providers in Gaza fear Israel's continuing combat operations.
  • Israel's counteroffensive, following Hamas' attacks, has led to over 32,000 Palestinian deaths.
  • Despite shortages, Rafah's field hospital has accommodated nearly 30,000 patients since January.

Healthcare providers are fearful of what may happen if they come across Israeli troops as their combat operations expand to the crowded city where over half of Gaza's population has fled.
