The ministry pointed out that 90% of the health services provided to citizens in the Gaza Strip is governmental services for patients of chronic diseases and with disabilities who need daily follow-up.
The ministry attributed the deterioration of health status in the Gaza Strip to the direct pressures practiced by the Ramallah government on the employees of health sector which threatened to cut salaries in the event they reported to duties.
It pointed out that escalating strikes in the health sector comes at a time of increasing Israeli military aggressions against the Strip which led to the killing and wounding of tens of Palestinians most of whom are in need of medical supervision by doctors.
