Palestinian Ministry of Health: Israeli occupation’s aggression puts hospitals in northern Gaza out of service
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced today that hospitals in the besieged northern Gaza Strip are now completely out of service as a result of the Israeli occupation’s continued bombing, electricity blackout, and fuel exhaustion due to its ongoing aggression for the 46th day.
Palestinian media quoted the ministry as saying: Hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip are now completely out of service as a result of the occupation’s bombing and its prevention of allowing fuel to be brought in .. The ministry indicated that any wounded person who manages to reach these hospitals will continue to bleed until he is martyred, which is what the occupation wants – to increase the number of victims of its aggression specifically in the north of Gaza Strip and to force people to leave their homes and migrate to the south of Gaza Strip.
The Ministry indicated that the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza has been transformed from a center for providing medical services into a mass grave, as the occupation continues its siege. It noted that there are 50 martyrs in front of the hospital courtyard and 15 martyrs between the departments and they will be buried in any courtyard inside the hospital due to the occupation preventing their removal.
The Palestinian Health Ministry noted that there are 550 wounded and patients in the hospital, dozens of whom need immediate surgical operations, and that a number of patients who need artificial respiration died due to the lack of oxygen, pointing out that 200 doctors and 2,000 displaced persons are still in the hospital.
The Ministry stated that the occupation aircrafts bombed Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, destroyed parts of it, and continue to besiege it, turning it into a military barracks, as part of its ongoing war on hospitals and the health sector in Gaza to remove the remaining 10 hospitals from service, after removing 25 hospitals since the start of its aggression on the 7th of October.
