The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip stated that Israel deliberately bombed medical institutions and facilities, while the Egyptian authorities announced a list of the size of its intervention to treat the wounded who fell as a result of the Israeli aggression on the Strip.

Ashraf Al-Kidwa, spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, announced that Israel had targeted health institutions and wounded a number of health workers.

Al-Qudra said in a statement that "the Israeli violations and targets hit 21 health institutions and a number of health personnel during the targeting of the Ministry of Health building and Al-Rimal clinic, and this posed a threat to the work of the medical teams."

He also referred to "obstructing the movement of ambulances while transporting the wounded," calling for "serious international action to criminalize those practices that contradict international and humanitarian laws and norms."

He explained that "the continuation of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip threatens to undermine the efforts of the Ministry of Health in the face of the Corona epidemic, especially after causing the work of the central laboratory to stop conducting laboratory examinations as a result of targeting, and the difficulty of the movement of medical teams to follow up the home isolated and complete the Coronavirus vaccination program.

May Al-Kailah, Palestinian Minister of Health, condemned "the Israeli occupation bombing an administrative building of the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip and wounding cadres working in the building."

"This blood shed on Gaza's roads and under the rubble of its buildings must stop," she said in a statement.

She added, "The protection of civilians, children, medical centers and hospitals is the duty of the international community, which must act to stop the Israeli aggression to protect international law."

 The Israeli shelling reached the headquarters of the Qatar Red Crescent in the Gaza Strip, killing two Palestinians and wounding 10 others.

The Qatar Red Crescent condemned the targeting of its headquarters in the Gaza Strip, stressing the need to allow relief teams to work in accordance with international humanitarian law.

A few days ago, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip confirmed that the Israeli military forces deliberately targeted hospitals and health centers in the Strip.

Global warning

On Monday, the World Health Organization stressed the need to protect the infrastructure and health workers in the Gaza Strip.

This came in a press statement by the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, published on Twitter.

Ghebreyesus said that the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, had warned that the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel could lead to an uncontrollable security and humanitarian crisis.

He stressed, "It is imperative that the rules of international humanitarian law be fully respected. In particular, the infrastructure and health workers must always be protected, and I call on leaders to do so."

Egyptian intervention

In the same context, Hala Zayed, the Egyptian Minister of Health, announced that 11 hospitals have been equipped in North Sinai, Ismailia and Cairo to receive the wounded in the Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip.

The minister also announced the dispatch of 65 tons of medicines and medical supplies to the Gaza Strip.

The governor of North Sinai said that 50 ambulances and medical teams had been prepared to transport the injured from the Gaza Strip to Egypt via the Rafah crossing.

Since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza on May 10, 212 Palestinians have been killed, including two doctors and at least 59 children, in addition to more than 1,400 wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

 On the other hand, 10 Israelis, including a child, were killed and 309 wounded by rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.

The situation in the occupied Palestinian territories exploded as a result of brutal violations and attacks committed by the Israeli police and settlers in the occupied city of Jerusalem, especially in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, which Israel seeks to expel some of its Palestinian residents and hand over their homes to Jewish settlers.
