The World Health Organization said in a statement that the emergency department at Al-Shifa Medical Complex turned into a bloodbath and was subjected to severe damage that required rehabilitation. This comes in light of the systematic and ongoing occupation of the health sector in Gaza.

The World Health Organization announced on Sunday that the emergency department at the Shifa Medical Complex in the Gaza Strip had “turned into a bloodbath” and needed rehabilitation, following being severely damaged by Israeli occupation bombing.

The organization also noted in its statement that tens of thousands of displaced people “have taken refuge in the complex, which lacks water and food.”

He added, “Emergency services have become a bloodbath, with hundreds of infected patients inside, and new patients arriving every minute,” stressing that “measures to relieve pain are very limited and even unavailable.”

In the middle of last November, the Israeli occupation “army” stormed Al-Shifa Hospital, following besieging it for several days, while firing randomly inside the hospital’s corridors. Dozens of soldiers stormed the hospital’s emergency department, shooting randomly.

The Hamas movement held the occupation and US President Joe Biden responsible for the occupation’s “army” storming the Shifa complex, and stressed that “the White House’s adoption of the occupation’s narrative of the resistance using the Shifa complex was a green light to commit massacres.”

The spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Ashraf Al-Qudra, had previously explained that the “Al-Shifa” complex includes approximately 10,000 people, including the displaced who remain without protection and without food or water, confirming that the crews buried 100 martyrs in the courtyard of the medical complex following the bodies rotted.

Two days ago, the occupation forces stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip, which is one of the largest hospitals in the Strip.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported yesterday, Saturday, that the occupation forces took the wounded out into the open at Kamal Adwan Hospital and attacked the medical personnel, confirming that the occupation forces bombed the “Al-Sahaba” center, which is the only maternity center in Gaza currently.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor called for an international investigation into the occupation’s crime at Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Media reported that the occupation “army” buried dozens of patients and displaced people alive, following their tents were run over by bulldozers in the hospital yard.

The occupation turned Kamal Adwan Hospital into a military barracks, and deliberately humiliated the medical staff and the wounded, according to what was stated by the Director General of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, Munir Al-Bursh.
