Doctors Without Borders says hospitals in Gaza lack basic necessities of life

GAZA: Doctors Without Borders said that hospitals in the Gaza Strip lack the most basic basics, which will lead to the death of more citizens every second that the war continues. The organization said in a statement that for nine months, the Gaza Strip has witnessed almost continuous death and psychological trauma, and no place has been spared from bloodshed. The organization noted that medical teams in Gaza are exposed to unbearable pressure with every attack amid a depleted health system. It added, "Our teams are working throughout the Gaza Strip to provide basic and life-saving care for those injured in brutal Israeli attacks, and they are also forced to flee for their lives." The World Health Organization said in a report this month that the health sector in Gaza needs 80,000 liters of fuel per day, and that the last supplies that arrived in the Strip at the end of last month were between 195,000 and 200,000 liters. It confirmed that hospitals are facing a fuel shortage that threatens the interruptio n of vital services and the death of injured people due to the delay of ambulances. The organization also warned of the escalation of the medical services crisis in the Gaza Strip, especially in light of the Israeli evacuation orders in Gaza City, which hinder the treatment of the injured. It pointed out that out of 36 hospitals in Gaza, only 13 are partially operating, and there are a total of 11 field hospitals in the Strip, three of which were forced to temporarily stop, and four are partially operating.
