GAZA, (PIC)
Gaza’s health ministry has called on the international community and humanitarian organizations to intervene urgently to pressure the Israeli occupation regime to open the border crossings and allow in medical supplies and fuel without delay.
According to a statement issued by the health ministry, “hospitals and healthcare facilities in Gaza are operating far beyond their capacity, facing severe shortages of medicines, medical supplies, and the fuel needed to run essential equipment and generators.”
“This threatens the lives of thousands of patients and wounded individuals, especially children, pregnant women, and the elderly,” the health ministry said.
The ministry also urged urgent delivery of food aid and drinking water to save patients, children, and those in need amid worsening hunger and malnutrition.
The ministry stressed the need for international medical teams to support exhausted local healthcare workers operating under inhumane and extreme conditions.
It also called for the establishment of humanitarian corridors to transfer the wounded and critically ill patients to hospitals in the West Bank or abroad for treatment.
