Health Minister Mai Alkaila said that 28 staff working in the health sector were killed, and dozens of them were injured, during the ongoing Israeli aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip for the eighth day in a row.

Al-Kaila added in a press statement today, Saturday, that 15 medical centers were damaged as a result of the bombing, and Beit Hanoun Hospital and Al-Durrah Children’s Hospital stopped providing service, and 23 ambulances were damaged and stopped working.

It renewed its appeals to the international community, the United Nations, and international human rights and humanitarian organizations, to provide urgent protection for hospitals, treatment centers, ambulances, health personnel, and the sick and wounded who are exposed daily to Israeli bombing.

She added that the occupation forces daily threaten hospitals in the Gaza Strip with evacuation, which is a clear threat to the lives of hundreds of patients and wounded, including Al-Durrah Children's Hospital, which was evacuated yesterday after being bombed with internationally banned white phosphorus bombs, and before that, Beit Hanoun Hospital, which also stopped working as a result of the Israeli bombing.
