UNRWA: Gaza's health sector in critical condition
Gaza - (Saba): The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Wednesday that the health sector in Gaza is in a critical situation due to the ongoing genocidal war perpetrated by the Zionist enemy. UNRWA added, in press statements, according to the Palestinian Safa News Agency, that 45% of essential supplies are depleted, and nearly a quarter of them could be depleted within six weeks. It indicated that stocks of vital medicines and blood products are on the verge of depletion, while needs are urgent and increasing daily. Since March 2, the Zionist enemy has closed the Gaza Strip's crossings to the entry of food, relief, medical aid, and goods, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 55,637 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 129,880 others. To date, this is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
