The Palestinian Minister of Health, Dr. Mai Al-Kaila talked about the atrocities occurring in hospitals in the Gaza Strip, especially Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Minister Alkaila added in a press statement, today, Sunday, that the Israeli occupation army does not evacuate hospitals, but rather throws the wounded and sick into the street to certain death, and “this is not an evacuation, but an expulsion at gunpoint.”

She added that there is a catastrophe happening in hospitals, namely patients who are now dying without receiving their treatments, such as children and adults on dialysis who die in their homes without receiving dialysis sessions.

The Minister of Health confirmed the death of 12 patients inside Al-Shifa Medical Complex, so far, due to the outage of electricity and medical consumables, including two newborn children.

She said that all 3,000 oncology patients who were being treated in Al-Rantisi and Al-Turki Hospital have now been left to die, after the occupation expelled them from the hospitals.

The Minister of Health confirmed that all pregnant women and those with dangerous pregnancies are at risk, as women do not find anyone to provide them with treatment and medical services in Gaza. Every woman about to give birth will not find anyone to provide her with any medical service.

She explained that the sick and wounded cannot reach Al-Shifa Medical Complex, and many of them lost their lives either as they were bleeding or because they did not receive their necessary medications and treatments.

The Minister of Health confirmed that the medical staff inside Al-Shifa Hospital cannot move between the departments and buildings of the medical complex, as a drone fires at everyone who moves inside the complex.

She continued: Another danger that threatens the lives of patients and threatens the occurrence of a health catastrophe, which is the inability of medical teams to bury 100 martyrs whose bodies began to decompose in the hospital courtyard and that stray dogs mauled some of them, according to the testimonies of the medical staff present there, in addition to the medical waste accumulated inside the departments.

The Minister of Health said: Patients were injured again while on Al-Shifa beds as a result of the occupation’s bombing of the medical complex, which affected water wells, oxygen stations, the complex’s gate, and other facilities, while the blood stock inside the departments was spoiled due to a power outage, as medical teams were no longer able to administer units. Blood for the sick and wounded who are bleeding.

She pointed out that the wounded, sick, and medical teams do not find anything to eat in addition to all that they are suffering, and that water is cut off in the complex.

She stressed that the solution now is to supply the medical complex with electricity, medical consumables, medicines and fuel, or to safely evacuate patients for treatment in the Arab Republic of Egypt, as the Gaza Strip’s hospitals are no longer able to receive more wounded.
