Health Situation in Gaza ‘Extremely Catastrophic’: Palestinian Official
News - Middle East: A senior Palestinian official has described as "extremely catastrophic” the health situation in the Gaza Strip in general, stressing the need for providing the necessary health components.
Munir al-Bursh, director-general of Gaza’s Health Ministry made the remarks on Sunday, as a four-day humanitarian truce appears to be holding in the besieged enclave.
“The quantities of medical aid and fuel that arrived in the Gaza Strip, especially the northern areas of the strip, are very limited and insufficient, in light of the catastrophic health condition of the hospitals,” Bursh said.
"Medicines and medical supplies must be brought into Gaza in large quantities, in line with the catastrophic health situation in the strip,” he added.
The Palestinian official further noted that only three hospitals are now operating in Gaza, namely Al-Maamadani, Al-Awda, and Kamal Adwan, which are serving some 900,000 people, warning that they are on the brink of collapse.
