Gaza's hospitals overwhelmed by injured from Israel's military campaign


DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip, June 10 (Reuters) - Hazem Farjallah wails as he lies in the Gaza hospital corridor, his head bandaged and his aunt by his side, days after he was injured by Israeli bombardment and with little prospect of adequate medical care.
Hazem, 10, has not spoken since he was injured in Thursday's strike on a U.N. school being used as a shelter and the shrapnel wounds are visible on his back, chest and head.
"He's been lying on the ground for days. He's supposed to be in the intensive care unit. There are no mattresses," said his aunt, Umm Nasser in a video obtained by Reuters. Hazem is now in a bed but had to manage on the floor until Monday.
