Video: Israeli Attacks Destroy Septic System at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, Flooding Facility with Sewage
Gaza (Quds News Network)- The management of Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza said the raw sewage is obstructing the work of staff due to ongoing Israeli attacks, further worsening the suffering in Gaza’s already devastated healthcare system. Severe damage to the sewage lines, resulting from ongoing Israeli attacks, has caused the waste to flood directly into the hospital and its surrounding complex, the management said. Iyad Barhoum, the hospital’s administrative director, said that the Israeli army is preventing technical crews from reaching these lines for repair, exacerbating the crisis and negatively affecting the health services provided to patients.
The Israeli military has repeatedly targeted southern Gaza’s largest hospital since the start of the assault. On Wednesday,UN experts stated that Gaza’s healthcare system has been the subject of targeted destruction by the Israeli military, which amounts to “medicide”, accusing Israel of deliberately attacking and starving healthcare workers, paramedics and hospitals to wipe out medical care in the enclave. “As human beings and UN experts, we cannot remain silent about the war crimes committed before our eyes in Gaza,” said Tlaleng Mofokeng, special rapporteur on the right to health, and Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967. “In addition to bearing witness to an ongoing genocide, we are also bearing witness to a ‘medicide’, a sinister component of the intentional creation of conditions calculated to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, which constitutes an act of genocide,” the experts said. “Health and care workers have been continuously targeted, detained, tortured and are now, like the rest of the population, being starved,” they added.
