Palestinian Health Ministry: Gaza’s health reality is catastrophic as Israeli aggression continues

The Palestinian Ministry of Health has warned that the health situation in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel’s continued aggression against it has become extremely painful and catastrophic as a result of the discharge of major hospitals, pointing out that the remaining three hospitals in Gaza City and the north are small and not qualified to receive large numbers of wounded as the medical and clinical capabilities are limited.

The ministry said during a press conference today that the Israeli occupation is waging a fierce campaign of aggression inside the Gaza Strip, and shelling several areas, which led to a large number of victims in a way that the Strip’s already exhausted hospitals cannot bear as they have become exhausted by the siege and then because of the aggression, which threatens to lose more lives, especially since the temporary truce agreement did not provide them with medicines, services and fuel.

The ministry pointed out that the medical teams in the Gaza Strip are dealing with large numbers of martyrs and wounded who are scattered on the ground in the emergency departments and in front of the operating rooms as a result of the accumulation of cases and the continuation of the occupation’s massacres.

The ministry stressed that the major disaster is also the weakness of the capabilities of hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, which cannot bear the burden of the intense brutal bombardment on residential neighborhoods, and the resulting large numbers of martyrs and wounded civilians and children, stressing that there is not a single bed available to receive new cases as a result of the continuation of this aggression, although a number of victims have reached hospitals, and that there are large numbers still under the rubble.

Earlier today, the Ministry announced that the number of victims of Israel’s aggression against the Gaza Strip has risen since this morning to more than 61 martyrs and dozens of wounded.
