Founder of the humanitarian aid group Gift of the Givers, Imtiaz Sooliman, says the situation in Gaza is worsening day by day.
"Civilian blocks have been flattened; 10 hospitals have been directly targeted. For those that are surviving, there is no place, there's no beds, there's no floor space.
"The only power plant doesn't work anymore. There's no electricity, no water. They provide water from the desalination plants that we've set up it’s not enough for 2.3 million people."
