Displaced Gazans face dire conditions

GAZA, Sept 07 (Reuters/BBC): Iqbal al-Zeidi has been going out to retrieve her family's belongings from the rubble of their home ever since it was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City almost a year ago.
Braving more bombardments, she said she has travelled up to the wrecked site, collected bedsheets, clothes and blankets, and brought them back to their shelter - a torn tent in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Hospital about 10 miles (16km) south in the city of Deir Al-Balah.
Other tents clustered nearby give little relief from the sweltering heat, and none from the attacks that have followed them to their new home.
On Thursday, four people died when an Israeli airstrike hit tents where other displaced families were living close to the same hospital, local medics said.
She is among the millions of Gazans who have been moving up and down the besieged and overcrowded enclave, escaping an attack in one location, only to face more attacks in their new place of refuge.
"Our house was a 120-square-metre apartment. Now we live in a tent just 4 metres by 4 metres," al-Zeidi said, visibly worn out by the heat.
"We left our house under bombing, with nothing - no papers, no certificates, nothing. We are completely erased."
Conditions are dire across the territory with severe shortages of water, medicine and fuel. Few hospitals are functional.
The collapse in Gaza's health system has complicated a host of other unfolding disasters, from a hunger crisis to spreading disease. It has left those with chronic conditions unable to access basic care.
"My granddaughter has a heart condition, and we can't get treatment. I am sick myself, with high blood pressure and diabetes, but I can't find medication," al-Zeidi told Reuters.

UN calls for full inquiry
into West Bank shooting
The United Nations has called for a "full investigation" into the killing of a US-Turkish woman in the occupied West Bank during a protest on Friday.
Local media reported that Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was shot dead by Israeli forces as she took part in a weekly protest against Jewish settlement expansion in the town of Beita near Nablus.
Israel's military said it was "looking into reports that a foreign national was killed as a result of shots fired in the area".
Ms Eygi's family said in a statement they were in shock and grief that the loving and "fiercely passionate human rights activist" was gone.
The family said video showed she was killed by a bullet from an Israeli military shooter and called for the US to investigate.
The US has urged Israel to investigate the incident. Sean Savett, spokesman for the White House's National Security Council, said Washington was "deeply disturbed by the tragic death of an American citizen".
"We have reached out to the government of Israel to ask for more information and request an investigation into the incident," Mr Savett said.
