Hospitals throughout Gaza have been flooded with patients in recent days as Israeli strikes have intensified, even as talks of a possible ceasefire deal have had some Palestinians cautiously optimistic.

At least 138 Palestinians have been killed and more than 400 injured on Thursday and Friday, according to Gaza health officials. More than 60 of those killed and hundreds of the injured were waiting for aid.
