GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Dr. Mohamed Abu Salmiya, director of the Shifa Hospital, has said that the hospital’s medical teams are unable to handle the growing number of wounded civilians due to the intense Israeli airstrikes and bombardment.
In press remarks on Tuesday, Abu Salmiya affirmed that large quantities of medicines and medical supplies ran out as a result of the tight Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.
“The healthcare system cannot handle the large number of injured citizens, and we are facing a shortage of medicines due to the closure of the crossings,” Abu Salmiya said.
“We are witnessing a full-fledged crime committed by the occupation,” he added.
At least 342 people have been killed in a wave of brutal Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, Gaza’s health ministry said. The number is expected to rise as many are in critical condition or still under the rubble of bombed buildings.
The Israeli occupation army, which has enforced a total blockade of Gaza, has also issued new forced displacement orders for several areas.
The Hamas Movement said that Israel carried out a “treacherous” attack at dawn on besieged and defenseless civilians in order to overturn the Gaza ceasefire deal.
