Doctor describes humanitarian crisis in Gaza as "unbelievable," witnessing children dying from hunger and preventable injuries.

Dr. Ahmmed Al-Farra , head of pediatrics and maternity in Gaza 's Nasser Medical Complex , said hospitals are collapsing across the region.

No public hospitals are operating in the north of the strip and Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis has repeatedly been targeted by Israeli airstrikes.

Nearly 500,000 people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger, the UN reports.

Israel allowed 100 aid trucks to enter Gaza on Tuesday , UN OCHA Deputy Spokesperson Jens Laerke said.

No aid has been distributed in Gaza yet, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the decision to allow in aid came after pressure from U.S. lawmakers.
