GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) A group of 14 doctors of various nationalities arrived in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, in collaboration with Rahma Worldwide organization, to offer medical treatment to Palestinian patients and the wounded amid the ongoing Israeli genocide over the past 15 months.
The head of the organization, Shadi Zaza, said in a press conference in Gaza on Thursday, “Twelve surgeons and two physicians have arrived to support the people in Gaza.”
Zaza added the organization sought to send a humanitarian message and shed light on the dire living conditions faced by the residents, in light of the great shortage of medicines and medical supplies.
He pointed out that “the doctors who came to Gaza are participating in a humanitarian mission aimed at alleviating the people’s suffering,” expressed his concern over the deterioration of the health and living conditions due to the ongoing blockade and genocide.
He explained that the Gaza Strip is grappling with the spread of epidemics and famine, which have led to children dying from hunger and cold, stressing “the need to stop the genocidal war and improve living conditions of Palestinians.”
“The doctors have come to help ease the suffering of Gaza’s residents, as a gesture of solidarity with the oppressed,” Zaza underscored.
He called for urgent delivery of medicines and medical supplies to Gaza to enable them to provide the necessary care for the injured and sick.
Hospitals in Gaza are also facing severe shortages of fuel needed to operate generators amid ongoing power outages, along with a lack of medicines and medical equipment due to insufficient aid.
