A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Gaza after 74 days of Israeli genocide, warns health ministry 
Gaza (QNN) - The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has warned that a humanitarian crisis has been unfolding across the war-ridden territory after 74 days of nonstop Israeli genocide. Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Gaza, said that during the past hours, the Israeli occupation forces have committed 16 massacres and genocide crimes across the Gaza Strip. Tragically, he added, the Nasser Medical Complex was bombed, resulting in the martyrdom of Dunia Abu Mohsen, a young girl receiving medical treatment from a previous Israeli strike. https://twitter.com/QudsNen/status/1736822354498449435?t=mf9_1Yl29wbTrlryhkn_9g&s=19 The toll of the Israeli aggression has reached alarming levels, with 19,453 victims and 52,286 injuries reported since October 7. The latest onslaught includes a massacre at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Gaza's largest hospital, where 26 displaced people lost their lives within six hours. The deliberate targeting of health facilities in northern Gaza has left hundreds of thousands without essential services. Hospitals are destroyed, and staff are arrested, amounting to the potential execution of around 800,000 people, according to the health ministry. In southern Gaza, the health situation is catastrophic. Operating rooms are overwhelmed, leading to the loss of many lives as critical cases await treatment. The Ministry of Health urged immediate international intervention that includes the provision of medicines, medical supplies, fuel, and specialized medical teams. The Israeli occupation forces continue to arrest health personnel under inhumane conditions, contributing to the death of 310 health workers and the destruction of 102 ambulances, according to the Ministry. Amid the deliberate obstruction of medical aid, the health ministry called for a safe humanitarian corridor to guarantee the flow of supplies to all hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
