The Palestinian Ministry of Health stressed that the health system in the Gaza Strip is being exposed to a systematic war and great destruction, warning that silence regarding the Israeli practices exposes citizens to certain death.

The Health Ministry confirmed at a press conference held by hospital directors in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday that North Gaza hospitals need urgent supplies, calling on international organizations to provide these hospitals with fuel and medical supplies to ensure staying operational.

Hospital directors affirmed that the Israeli bombardment has intensified in the northern Gaza Strip, and significantly affected the health services.

The Ministry held the Israeli occupation army responsible for the fate of the sick and wounded especially the children in intensive care units.

The Kamal Adwan and Indonesian hospitals in northern Gaza warned on Monday that they would stop functioning within 48 hours due to the lack of fuel supplies.

The Ministry of Health has repeatedly warned of the repercussions of the unprecedented medical crisis in the Strip in light of the ongoing Israeli aggression, the occupation of all the crossings, and the continuous targeting of the health sector.
