Gaza - Saba:
The Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Munir al-Bursh, accused the Israeli occupation of committing genocide targeting the Palestinian people.
He pointed out that the indirect damage resulting from the war, such as the blockade and the collapse of the health sector, is causing more deaths than the direct casualties caused by the occupation forces.
In statements to Al Jazeera, al-Bursh confirmed that the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels due to the continued closure of crossings and the prevention of aid from entering. This has led to the closure of most hospitals, with only 20 of the 38 remaining partially functioning.
He pointed out that children and pregnant women are the most affected groups, as the occupation prevents the entry of water, food, and medicine, threatening the lives of millions of residents. He also revealed that more than 40,000 children have lost one or both parents, 100 children have died while waiting to leave the Strip for treatment, and nearly one million children have been deprived of life-saving aid.
In a related context, Al-Bursh reported that the occupation forces have arrested more than 360 medical personnel, calling on international organizations to urgently intervene to open the crossings and allow the entry of more than 3,000 trucks of humanitarian aid stuck outside the Gaza Strip.
