The director of field hospitals at the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, Marwan Al-Hams, appealed to people of conscience in the world and everyone related to human rights to stop the war and destruction targeting hospitals in the Gaza Strip. He said that it is a shame on humanity for young children to freeze in their tents because of the cold.
Al-Hams described the conditions in hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip as bad, as the Israeli occupation is still targeting these hospitals. The Indonesian hospital in the northern Gaza Strip was completely taken out of service after sending the doctors, nurses and patients, whose number was estimated at about 30, to an unknown road. He said that some of these They arrived in Gaza, and others do not know their fate.

For 85 days, the occupation has been destroying the surroundings of the hospital, and last night it deliberately destroyed all the towers, in addition to burning homes, which led to the collapse of… Shrapnel inside the hospital, including patient rooms, confirming injuries. Patients and medical staff were transferred to the corridors and the first floor of the hospital for their protection.

The director of the field hospitals conveyed shocking facts about the state of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, and said that today they received in the hospital in Khan Yunis, south of the Strip, a young child no more than 8 months old, freezing from the cold inside a tent, and the doctors were unable to provide him with any service.
Al-Hams described the situation by saying, “We do not live in the country of the Eskimos or beyond the Pacific Ocean. We live in a country with a temperate climate, but for children to arrive in our hospitals freezing from the cold is a shame against all humanity.”
It is noteworthy that a Palestinian infant died at dawn last Friday due to extreme cold inside a displacement tent in the Al-Mawasi area, west of the city of Khan Yunis.
Al-Hams held the Israeli occupation responsible for the bad humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, because it is bombing displacement areas and displaced persons’ tents, stressing that people are starving, especially in the south of the Strip, as cases suffering from malnutrition arrive at hospitals, and some elderly people arrive after they have died, because – As their families tell doctors – for 5 days or a week they have not eaten a bite of bread.
Gazans also suffer from a shortage of medical supplies and medical staff due to the Israeli occupation targeting them.
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip confirmed that the number of victims of the Israeli aggression on the Strip since October 2023 has risen to 45,361 martyrs and 107,803 injured.
