United Nations (UN) agencies have expressed anger over the condition of Gaza’s hospitals.
He said injured people in Gaza lack basic necessities and seriously injured children are dying amid Israeli attacks.
Most of Gaza’s hospitals are no longer functioning due to damage in the attacks. There is a shortage of fuel and staff in hospitals. Those hospitals that are still open are under increasing pressure due to strikes and the increasing number of sick and injured patients.
“I am angry that children who are recovering in hospitals after losing limbs are also killed,” said James Elder, a spokesman for the UN children’s agency. He said Nasser Hospital is the largest hospital currently functioning in Gaza.
There was shelling here twice in the last 48 hours. He said one of the victims was a 13-year-old disabled girl who survived the attack at her home. His family was killed in that attack.
He said, “So where should the children and families go in such a situation? “They are not safe in hospitals, they are not safe in shelters, and they are certainly not safe in so-called safe areas.”
World Health Organization spokeswoman Margaret Harris said conditions in Gaza’s hospitals were “appalling”. “Very basic things, they don’t have,” Margaret Harris said. A colleague of mine described seeing people lying on the floor in severe pain and suffering, but they were not asking for relief from the pain. They were asking for water.” “It is beyond belief that the world is allowing this,” he said.
Israel attacks southern Gaza, raids a hospital in the northern part
Israel launched strikes targeting southern Gaza on Tuesday, killing 28 Palestinians. Israel also raided the only operating hospital in the northern part of Gaza.
This development has come to light at a time when pressure is increasing on Israel for a ceasefire after the death of three hostages in the Israeli attack. However, after increased support from America, Israel has intensified attacks against Hamas.
After the horrific attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, Israel started retaliatory attacks, in which so far about 20,000 Palestinians have died while about 19 lakh people have been displaced.
At least 25 people, including women and children, were killed early Tuesday in an attack on a house in Rafah where displaced people were taking shelter. At least three people died in other attacks.
Israel has told Palestinians to seek shelter in Rafah, south of Gaza, which has also been bombed repeatedly in recent days.
Israeli forces attacked a hospital overnight Monday and continued into Tuesday, according to the church that runs al-Ahli hospital in northern Gaza.
According to this, the front wall of the hospital was broken and several employees were taken into custody. Church pastor Don Binder said only two doctors and four nurses were left at the hospital after the raid.
He said that treatment of more than 100 injured is going on in the hospital and electricity and water supply has been stopped.
