Palestinian Minister of Health, Mai Al-Kaila, warned of “a disaster inside hospitals in the Gaza Strip, where many wounded people are breathing their last, as a result of the lack of medical capabilities and the lack of fuel.”

She pointed out in a statement, “The Israeli violations against the health sector in Gaza had, as of Saturday afternoon, caused the death of more than 150 health personnel, the destruction of 27 ambulances, in addition to the withdrawal of 16 hospitals and 32 primary health care centers from service.” .

Al-Kaila pointed out that “the occupation’s continued bombardment of the vicinity and gates of hospitals in Gaza and its north aims to force medical personnel to abandon their patients and leave the hospitals, in a complex massacre carried out against the wounded and sick, as Israel refuses to treat them inside hospitals, and also refuses to transfer them to Egypt for treatment.” During the targeting of convoys of the wounded,” she called on the international community to “bring fuel into the Gaza Strip’s hospitals, so that we do not reach a moment in which we record dozens of casualties inside them due to the complete cessation of service.”
