GAZA, (PIC)
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which is located in Deir Al-Balah Governorate, in central Gaza Strip, is the only hospital providing health services to more than one million people.
The Ministry explained in a statement on Tuesday that the hospital’s clinical capacity cannot bear to receive more martyrs and injuries in light of the ongoing Israeli aggression against civilians because of severe shortage of supplies and personnel.
It called on the World Health Organization (WHO) and all international organizations to “investigate the dangerous health situation at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.”
The ministry also urged “the international community and all international and UN organizations to immediately and urgently deploy field hospitals and medical teams to save the health situation in the Gaza Strip and to control the situations of dozens of thousands of wounded and injured people who are at risk of death.”
The Israeli occupation army has been waging, since October 7 last year, a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, with the US and European support, leading to the martyrdom of 36,550 people, and the injury of 82,959 others, in addition to the displacement of about 1.7 million residents of the Strip, according to UN data.
