Israeli war against Gaza on its 38th day: thousands are trapped in hospitals
Dozens of citizens were injured today, Monday, as a result of continuous Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, while thousands are still stranded in hospitals and health facilities, and others are “on the streets without medical care” in many areas.
The occupation aircraft bombed a house belonging to the Al-Agha family near Al-Amin Mosque in the western line of Khan Yunis, which led to casualties as a preliminary toll.
While the occupation warplanes continue their raids and bombing in the vicinity of hospitals, where they completely destroyed the heart department building in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, and tens of thousands of displaced, wounded, and sick people are still stranded, after being besieged for the third day in a row, amid a complete outage of electricity, water, and food.
According to the Ministry of Health, 3 premature babies and 12 patients have been martyred inside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex so far, due to the outage of electricity and medical consumables, including two newborn babies.
All 3,000 oncology patients who were being treated in Al-Rantisi and Al-Turki hospitals were now left to die, after the occupation expelled them from the hospitals, in light of warnings of a real humanitarian catastrophe due to the absence of basic services.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society announced that Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City was out of service and stopped working completely, yesterday, due to running out of fuel and a power outage.
23 out of 35 hospitals have completely stopped operating, and the occupation forces are still besieging many hospitals, preventing entry or exit to them for medical staff, paramedics, and patients.
The occupation warplanes also destroyed a brick factory and the adjacent Bani Suhaila cemetery, east of Khan Yunis Governorate.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October has resulted in more than 11,078 martyrs, including 4,506 children and 3,027 women, in addition to the injury of 27,490 citizens, the majority of whom are women and children, an infinite toll.
