All hospitals in northern Gaza are inoperative. Hamas Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra outlines a dramatic portrait of the situation who live in health units.
“Al-Shifa hospital is a cemetery for everyone there,” reports Ashraf al-Qudra in an interview with Aljazeera, from Gaza.
The occupancy rate reached 190% and around 120 patients were transferred from the Indonesian hospital to the Nasser hospital in the southern Gaza Strip. However, they remain in the Indonesian Hospital. more than 400 injured, 200 doctors and about two thousand people who sought refuge.
According to Ashraf al-Qudra, the Israeli army “attacks anyone who moves around or inside the hospital.”
At Al-Shifa hospital, the largest in Gaza, there are also 700 people in captivity and the Israeli army continues surrounding the place.
The war between Israeli forces and Hamas, which continues to threaten to spread throughout the Middle East region, broke out on October 7 with a surprise attack by the Islamist movement against Israel.
This attack, which included rocket launches and infiltration into Israeli territory of some 3,000 combatants, caused around 1200 dead, mainly civiliansand five thousand injured, according to a report from the Israel Defense Forces.
In retaliation, Israel incessantly bombards the Gaza Strip and has been carrying out, since October 27, a ground operation to “crush” the Islamist movement.
These Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have killed more than 13,300 peopleof which more than 5,600 are children, according to Hamas, in power in the Gaza Strip since 2007 and classified as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and Israel.
To this balance are added tens of thousands injured and also, according to the UN, 1.7 million displaced people – more than two thirds of the total population of that poor Palestinian enclave, which faces a serious humanitarian crisisdue to shortages of water, food, electricity, medicine and fuel.
