Gaza Ambulance Director: The Strip is on the verge of famine, and this may be our last message
The Director of Ambulance and Emergency in Gaza sent an appeal to the world through a message that he said might be the last, before being cut off from the outside world, in light of the intense attacks and ongoing raids on the Gaza Strip, targeting civilian facilities and health facilities.
Muhammad Abu Musabah said that the Gaza Strip is on the verge of famine, and the Israeli targeting is affecting the basic necessities of life. He added that the targeting of schools and headquarters housing displaced persons is a very dangerous and disturbing indicator, and that the international silence has encouraged the Israeli occupation forces to continue targeting civilians and protected groups in Gaza.
Abu Musabih - who is also the spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent - also announced that Al-Quds Hospital was out of service due to running out of fuel and a power outage. It has been under siege for a week and Israeli tanks are about 20 meters away from it.
Abu Musabih said, "This may be our last message, and we may soon be cut off from communication with the outside world."
Doctors Without Borders warned - earlier today, Sunday - that if the bloodshed does not stop immediately through a ceasefire or the minimum evacuation of patients, these hospitals will become morgues.
In a related context, activists circulated on social media a video clip of a doctor in Britain collapsing while reading an emergency message from the director of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, where health care workers gathered in front of the Prime Minister’s office in London, raising banners bearing the names of more than 200 doctors. They have been martyred so far.
