Doctors have been scrambling to help a rising number of patients in overcrowded hospitals.
GAZA: As Gaza residents brace for an Israeli ground offensive, after days of intense air strikes and a blockade, in response to the attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, health ministry official Ashraf Al-Qidra wonders how hospitals will cope.
At least 2,750 Palestinians have been killed and 9,700 wounded since Oct 7, the health ministry said on Monday. Another 1,000 people were missing and believed to be under rubble. It has vowed to annihilate Hamas in retaliation for a rampage by its fighters in Israeli towns nine days ago in which its militants shot men, women and children and seized hostages in the worst attack on civilians in the country’s history.
Israel says its instruction to leave the north of Gaza is a humanitarian gesture to save Palestinians from harm. An Israeli military spokesman said that unlike Hamas, Israel does not intentionally target civilians. The spokesman did not directly respond to the specific allegation of attacks on convoys fleeing Gaza City.
“I am getting kidney dialysis, and this process is very challenging, we suffer a lot. We suffer from transportation and moving around,” he said. In Khan Younis’s Nasser Hospital, in the southern Gaza Strip, where ambulances carrying casualties continue to arrive, patients with chronic diseases face the prospect of medical devices failing.
