Palestinian Health: 350 dead in Gaza within 24 hours... and the toll exceeds 17 thousands

Gaza Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a press conference that 350 dead and 900 injuries arrived in Gaza hospitals during the past 24 hours.


He said that the number of dead rose to 17,177, and the number of injured to 46,000 since the start of the war on Gaza.


He continued, "The occupation deliberately targets ambulances and civil defense crews. We are facing difficulties in counting the dead and wounded due to the continuous bombing and the cutting of communications."


He stressed, "Less than 1% of the total wounded in the aggression left the Rafah crossing for the purpose of treatment abroad, and the occupancy rate in Gaza hospitals reached 206%."


He said that the liquidation of health services in northern Gaza would have serious and disastrous repercussions for the wounded.


He said, "We are facing great difficulties in operating the Al-Shifa Complex, and we need the support of international institutions. The Baptist Hospital has lost capacity and cannot provide health services, and the occupation is deliberately targeting ambulances and civil defense crews."
