UNRWA: Gaza's health sector in critical condition
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.

Gaza Health: Medical staff prisoners are experiencing tragic conditions in Zionist enemy prisons
Gaza - Saba: The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed on Monday that detained members of medical teams in Zionist enemy prisons are enduring dire and tragic conditions. In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the ministry stated that the Zionist enemy imposes severe restrictions on prisoners in general, and even harsher measures on those from medical teams in particular. The ministry reported that the lawyer of Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya described, during her latest visit, the brutal treatment he is subjected to during interrogation, including continuous beatings and deliberate denial of medical care. According to the lawyer, Dr. Abu Safiya—who has been detained since December 27 of last year—has lost 40 kilograms of weight and suffers from high blood pressure and a weakened heart muscle. The ministry pointed out that 360 health workers have been arrested since the beginning of the genocide in the Gaza Strip, noting that among the detainees are experienced doctors with vital specializations, depriving patients and the wounded of critical medical care. The Ministry of Health called on relevant international bodies to urgently intervene to criminalize the enemy's practices against detained medical personnel and to pressure for their immediate release.

Gaza-based Kuwait Hospital suffers fuel shortage
Gaza - Saba: The Kuwait Specialized Field Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that a fuel shortage threatens to shut down the hospital within 48 hours. In a press statement, the hospital explained that due to the severe fuel shortage, it will begin gradually reducing its services, starting with halting surgeries and reducing ambulance services to only the most urgent cases. It will also reduce operating hours in the radiology and laboratory departments. The statement warned that the hospital is suffering from a severe shortage of most essential medicines, hindering the provision of necessary healthcare and putting the lives of the wounded, patients with chronic diseases, pregnant women, and children at grave risk. This serious deterioration in fuel and medical supply stocks comes amid the complete closure of the crossings, the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, and the prevention of the entry of fuel, medical, and humanitarian supplies. The hospital warned that its cessation of operations would mean a health disaster threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients and wounded who visit it, especially in the Al-Mawasi area in the southern Gaza Strip, which is teeming with approximately 700,000 displaced persons and residents. The hospital called on relevant authorities and international and humanitarian organizations to take urgent action to provide the necessary fuel, medical supplies, and food to ensure the continuity of healthcare and save the lives of patients and the wounded. The health system in the Gaza Strip has been facing a systematic war waged by the Israeli occupation army since the beginning of the aggression, which has prevented the entry of medicines, medical supplies, medical equipment, generators, and baby formula into the Strip. Warnings are escalating of an imminent humanitarian disaster threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents of the Gaza Strip as a result of the continued stifling blockade imposed by the Zionist enemy since March 2.
