War on Gaza: 30 thousand displaced Palestinians near “Nasser Complex” lack water, food and medicine

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip revealed, on Thursday, that more than 30,000 displaced people are located near the “Nasser Medical Complex” in the south of the Strip, lacking water, food, baby formula, and medicines.


Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a statement published on the Telegram platform, “More than 30,000 displaced people in schools near the Nasser Medical Complex are missing water, food, baby formula, and medicines, which are required for thousands of sick and chronic cases.”


In his statement, Al-Qudra appealed to the United Nations and its institutions to "work to conduct urgent interventions to provide the living and health needs of the displaced."


Since the outbreak of the devastating Israeli war on the Strip on October 7, 2023, the occupation has cut off supplies of water, food, medicine, electricity, and fuel to the residents of Gaza, who are about 2.3 million Palestinians who are already suffering from extremely deteriorating conditions.


Although the Israeli army allowed some relief trucks to enter the Gaza Strip, the number allowed to enter cannot meet the growing need, in light of the continuous and escalating deterioration of the infrastructure as a result of the continuous Israeli bombing, and the complete deterioration of the health system against the backdrop of the war.


The ongoing Israeli war against the Gaza Strip since October 7, until Thursday, left “27,19 killed and 66,139 injured, most of them children and women,” according to the Palestinian authorities, and caused “massive destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” according to the United Nations.
