GAZA, (PIC)
Director general of Gaza’s health ministry Munir al-Barsh has described the health situation in northern Gaza as “extremely dire” due to the ongoing genocidal war that entered its 10th month and the destruction of hospitals.
In a statement on Saturday, Barsh, who is also head of the health emergency committee in northern Gaza, cited other reasons for the harsh health situation in northern Gaza, including the lack of medical needs and medicines and the inability of wounded civilians to travel abroad for treatment.
Barsh also said that health system in northern Gaza had lost many key members of its professional cadres due to their exposure to forced displacement to the south of the Strip.
The health official pointed out that the health sector in Gaza tries to make up for its staff deficiency through seeking the help of some foreign delegations, especially in crucial fields such as neurosurgery, plastic surgery and urology.
