Gaza hospitals can no longer accommodate or provide surgeries for many patients and wounded citizens after they received scores of citizens who suffered injuries during recent protests in border areas.
According to the General administration of hospitals 4000 scheduled surgical operations have been postponed due to the heavy pressure on operating rooms and accommodation departments in the health ministry’s hospitals.
Director of the general administration Abdul-Latif al-Hajj said this problem was caused by the large number of citizens transferred to hospitals following their suffering from bullet injuries during their participation in March of Return protests on the eastern border of Gaza.
Hajj added that hospitals also failed to conduct minor surgeries for many patients who only need swift medical care.
