The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says its colleagues in the Gaza Strip are trying to protect their families while also providing medical aid in a “catastrophic situation”, Al Jazeera reports.

Mousa Krezem, a member of the organisation in the besieged enclave, said he has been displaced four times in Rafah in the south, where the Israeli military is advancing with a deadly ground invasion.

“I am currently living in a tent,” Al Jazeera quoted him as saying.

The Red Cross field hospital in Rafah, which has 60 beds, is continuing to provide medical care to around 200 people daily, the ICRC said.
