Media Office in Gaza: Israeli occupation targets health system in a planned and deliberate manner
The media office in Gaza confirmed that the Israeli occupation army has been targeting the health system in a planned and deliberate manner since the beginning of the genocide war on Gaza Strip, by destroying and burning hospitals and medical centers and putting them out of service.
The office said in a statement today: “Since the occupation began its aggression on Gaza Strip, hospitals have been a declared target, as it bombed, besieged, stormed them, killed doctors and nurses, injured others after directly targeting them, and arrested a third of them, which confirms the occupation’s plan to target the health system in order to completely collapse it.”
It added: “The occupation killed more than 1,000 doctors, nurses and health cadres, arrested more than 310 of them, and subjected them to torture and execution inside the detention centers, as well as preventing the entry of medical supplies, health delegations and hundreds of surgeons into Gaza Strip.”
It pointed out that the occupation army is targeting Kamal Adwan Hospital and its medical staff, noting that these attacks have developed significantly and noticeably in the past two weeks.
The office condemned the occupation’s bombing of the health system and medical staff and preventing the entry of treatments, medicines and medical supplies, calling on the international community and all international, UN and humanitarian organizations to condemn this cowardly crime that demonstrates the brutality of the occupation and its disregard of the concepts of respecting humanity and its duties.
It held the US administration and other countries participating in the war of extermination fully legally, morally and historically responsible for these systematic crimes committed by the occupation with their support and participation.
