7,000 at risk of dying in Gaza’s hospitals, according to the health authorities – news Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

Spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra in the Hamas-controlled Palestinian health authorities says that no hospital has the ability to help those who are now injured, according to Al Jazeera. At least 5,700 people have died as a result of Israeli bombings since Hamas attacked Israel, according to health authorities in Gaza. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), two-thirds of Gaza’s health system is out of order as a result of Israel’s massive airstrikes.

Due to the blockade imposed by Israel, there is a shortage of food, water and fuel. This means that the hospitals are without electricity. Many hospitals have had to carry out complicated operations on the floor in the corridors, health workers have told. A spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces said earlier on Wednesday that no more fuel will enter Gaza. That is written by Reuters. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Sunday that hospitals will run out of fuel within three days. Last weekend, 34 trucks with emergency aid were allowed into the Gaza Strip. None of these had fuel with them. Israeli authorities fear that it could end up with Hamas. The UN agency UNRWA says close to 600,000 internally displaced people in the Gaza Strip have sought refuge in 150 premises belonging to the organisation.

Nor did these contain fuel. This means that 74 trucks with emergency aid have arrived since Saturday. The supplies include medicines, formula and water, Zayed told the news agency DPA. Israel’s attack on Gaza also continued overnight into Wednesday. The Hamas government in Gaza says at least 80 people were killed in the night’s attack. The figures have not been confirmed from another source.
