GAZA, (PIC)
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the Israeli occupation army committed 13 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, claiming the lives of 124 people and injuring 210 others in the past 24 hours.
The Ministry confirmed in a press statement on Monday that the toll of the Israeli aggression has risen to 30,534 martyrs and 71,920 injuries since October 7 last year.
A number of victims are still under the debris and on the roads, as Israeli occupation forces have been preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.
Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra, the spokesman for the Ministry of Health, said that over the past 150 days of the Israeli ongoing brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip, 364 health personnel have been killed and 269 others arrested, including hospital directors in Khan Yunis and northern Gaza.
Al-Qudra added that the Israeli army has also destroyed 155 health institutions and knocked 32 hospitals and 53 health centers out of service.
He pointed out that 126 ambulances were targeted and completely damaged in addition to the destruction of the infrastructure of hospitals in Khan Yunis and northern Gaza.
Al-Qudra stressed that the health situation is extremely catastrophic and indescribable as it is getting worse as a result of the lack of necessary medical aid.
The Israeli occupation army intentionally caused an unprecedented humanitarian and health catastrophe that contributed to the spread of epidemics and infectious diseases, he said, explaining that about one million cases of infectious diseases were monitored, amid the lack of necessary medical capabilities.
He warned that the residents of northern Gaza are grappling with death as a result of famine that has exceeded any global levels, calling on the United Nations to activate international humanitarian law to protect civilians, institutions and health personnel, and to provide survival means for the residents of the Gaza Strip to prevent the humanitarian catastrophe.
Since October 7, Israel has been waging a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, resulting in about 120,000, martyrs, wounded, and missing, 70% of whom were women and children, in addition to the displacement of 1.9% of the population and the massive destruction of more than 60% of the Strip’s buildings and infrastructure amid an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
