Ten International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) experts, including a war surgery team and six ICRC trucks carrying urgently needed medical material and water purification supplies, arrived in Gaza on Friday.

"The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is deepening by the hour," the organization said.

On Sunday, CGTN Stringer visited a hospital in Khan Yunis on the Gaza Strip where a batch of medical supplies provided by ICRC has just arrived.

Though some emergency drugs have been replenished, Dr Nahed Abu Taima, director of the Nasser Medical Hospital, said certain drugs, especially anesthetic drugs, are still needed, as they have already been used up and were not included in the new shipment.
