The health ministry in Gaza said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation army committed, over the past 24 hours, 12 massacres in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the martyrdom of at least 150 civilians and the injury of 286 others.
In a brief statement, the health ministry said that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments, which started on October 7, climbed to 21,822 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 56,451 people.
In a related context, spokesman for the health ministry Ashraf al-Qudra said that the Israeli occupation army had killed in Gaza 312 health personnel, including doctors with rare medical specialties, and kidnaped 99 medical professionals, including directors of hospitals in northern Gaza.
Spokesman Qudra also said that the Israeli army deliberately targeted 142 health facilities in Gaza, put 23 hospitals and medical centers out of service and destroyed 104 ambulances.
Qudra accused the Israeli army of torturing the Palestinian detainees its forces kidnaped from Gaza, especially doctors and medical workers, depriving them of food, water and sleep, interrogating them and exposing them to extreme cold conditions, pointing out that he obtained testimonies in this regard from citizens who were released recently from detention camps.
He called on international organizations and the Red Cross to visit the detainees who were kidnaped from Gaza and pressure for their release.
He also pointed out that there are 50,000 Gazan women suffering from malnutrition and health complications, especially those with high-risk pregnancies, in shelter centers due to the absence of drinking water, hygiene, food and medical care.
