Gaza Ministry Of Health Press Release

*Presented during a press conference by the Ministry of Health about the serious health repercussions of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip for the twenty-seventh day*

The Israeli occupation committed 15 massacres during the past hours, claiming the lives of 256 martyrs.

The number of massacres that the Israeli occupation deliberately committed against families in the Gaza Strip increased to 965.

The death toll from the Israeli aggression has risen to 9,061 martyrs, including 3,760 children and 2,326 women, and about 32,000 people have been injured with various injuries since October 7.

The Ministry of Health received 2,060 reports of missing persons, including 1,150 children still under the rubble.

Israeli violations against the health system led to the death of 135 health personnel and the destruction of 25 ambulances and their out of service.

The Israeli occupation deliberately targeted 100 health institutions and put 16 hospitals and 32 primary care centers out of service as a result of the targeting or failure to bring in fuel.

The Israeli occupation prevents the evacuation of the wounded from hospitals in Gaza and the north to the Arab Republic of Egypt by cutting off roads between the north and the south after agreeing to leave 30 wounded today.

We warn of an imminent health disaster. The main electrical generator in the Indonesian Hospital stopped, and the main generator in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex almost stopped as a result of the hospitals not being supplied with fuel or electricity.
