Gaza: 84 percent of Gaza’s healthcare services are non-operational

GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Gaza’s health ministry said that the operating rooms of hospitals are unable to handle the massive influx of wounded people, describing the medical situation in the embattled Gaza Strip as “catastrophic.”

Spokesman for the health ministry Khalil al-Daqran stated on Tuesday that only 19 percent of medical supplies, mostly non-essential items, actually entered Gaza during the past period before the Israeli occupation army decided to resume its genocidal war.

Daqran also said that 84 percent of Gaza’s healthcare services are non-operational, and hospitals are incapable of coping with the large number of wounded people, particularly those with critical injuries and amputations.

According to the spokesman, the hospitals in northern Gaza have not yet recovered from the previous attacks.

With full American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023. Its massive attacks have resulted in over 160,000 casualties, mostly children and women, along with more than 14,000 citizens unaccounted for.
