Gaza (Quds News Network)- The World Health Organization (WHO) said there have been more than 600 Israeli attacks on health facilities in Gaza since the start of the genocide in 2023. The health sector is “on its knees,” it added, facing severe shortages of fuel and medical supplies amid a constant influx of mass casualties. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned on Wednesday that the continuing Israeli bombardment is driving up casualties, displacing civilians and destroying essential infrastructure. More than 1,500 medical workers have been killed in Gaza since 2023, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. In recent days, attacks on tents and residential buildings in Gaza City and Deir al-Balah killed dozens of Palestinians, including medics and their families. “Partners working in health are providing services to those injured during these mass casualty incidents, despite very limited resources,” OCHA said. Just 18 of Gaza’s 36 general hospitals are partially functioning, according to the WHO. Israeli air strikes and months of bombardment have devastated Gaza’s hospitals, many of which were already struggling under the Israeli blockade. Palestinian medics and health officials have repeatedly accused the Israeli military of deliberately targeting hospitals. The Nasser Hospital, the main hospital in southern Gaza, issued yesterday a desperate warning as its fuel supplies run dry saying it has entered “the crucial and final hours”. “With the fuel counter nearing zero, doctors have entered the battle to save lives in a race against time, death, and darkness,” the hospital said in a statement. “They work in operating rooms without air conditioning, the boiling heat, their faces are sweating, their bodies are weary of hunger and fatigue. But their eyes are still burning with hope and determination.” The UN said Gaza’s fuel crisis, caused by Israel’s blockade, has reached a “critical point” and is putting more lives at risk as Israel continues to block humanitarian aid from entering the enclave since March 2. “Medical teams fight to the last breath. They have only their conscience and hope in those who hear the call – save Nasser Medical Complex before it turns into a silent graveyard for patients who could have been saved.”
