With a blockade on aid and medical supplies, the health facilities in Gaza are near collapse.
The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has risen to 1,055 as the Israeli army struck hundreds of targets in the densely-populated enclave's residential and commercial neighbourhoods, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
“Just days before the current escalation erupted, the Ministry of Health in Gaza appealed to the international community to support patients who receive kidney dialysis as disposable supplies for the dialysis procedure were out of stock,” Hafez Azzam, a Palestinian aid worker, tells TRT World. “The bombardments are very intense. Entire buildings are being destroyed, including one last night right next to the MSF office.”
The aid worker Azzam said, “Large influx of casualties threaten the ability of the health system to cope. All nurses were called to attend to the nearest hospital to help as health workers are at capacity already.”“Unless these borders are opened at once, for the fuel to run the generators and for medications, medical supplies to come at once to Gaza, there will be a collapse of the health system. I assure you there will be a collapse in the health system.
