“The Israeli occupation has intensified its siege against the Naser and Al Amal hospitals (in the city of Khan Yunis), which paralyzes the health system’s capabilities to rescue those injured as a result of the siege and shortages of medicines, anesthetics or units of blood.“, indicated the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, Ashraf al Qudra.

The spokesman accused Israeli troops of “execute” to citizens of Khan Yunis, where the most intense fighting and heavy bombing are now concentrated, and prevent the arrival of ambulances to evacuate the dead and wounded.

Israel has kept two hospitals under siege for a week, which have also suffered artillery attacks. On Saturday, Naser had to bury more than 150 bodies in a common grave in the hospital courtyard, in addition to being under minimal conditions, without fuel for the electric generators, and with the water tanks destroyed by shrapnel from the attacks in the area.

The Red Crescent, which manages the Al Amal hospital, denounced today “continuous bombings and shootings” in the vicinity of the center, in addition to a specific attack on the generator fuel tank.

In the last few hours, that hospital received three dead and four wounded, all of them displaced Gazans, hit by Israeli bullets near the medical center when they tried to evacuate a deceased person who was lying on the ground in the area.

In addition, two civilians were killed and others wounded in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential apartment in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the center of the Strip, where shelling also occurred in the Maghazi and Bureij camps and in the city from Deir al Balah, according to the official Palestinian agency Wafa.

Israeli warplanes bombed the Al Awda hospital in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, wounding five people, Wafa adds.

The Ministry of Health warned that around two million people are displaced by violence, and exposed to “unspeakable catastrophic levels” as winter conditions intensify, in addition to having already registered more than 700,000 cases of infectious diseases, with colds, diarrhea, hepatitis or dermatitis.

More than half of the population of the Strip is concentrated in Rafah, the southern end of the enclave, where more than 47 provisional medical points have been opened to care for the displaced, who not only need medicine, but also food and drinking water.
