Head of the administrative board at al-Maqassid Hospital Arafat al-Hadami slammed the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) for rescinding the working permits of Gazan medics.
“We have doctors that have been working for so long at the hospital but were recently banned from entering Occupied Jerusalem under the security pretext” said Dr. al-Hadami. “This is an alarming humanitarian issue that deeply affects health services at the hospital.”
According to al-Hadami seven Gazan doctors have been banned from occupied Jerusalem resulting in an acute shortage in pediatricians practitioners and cardiovascular medics.
Al-Hadami dubbed the ban “oppressive” and “immoral.”
The doctor further sounded the alarm over the financial crisis endured by the hospital whose debts have hit 80 million shekels so far.
