Gaza latest: 31 dead after Israeli tanks open fire near aid centre in Rafah, Hamas health ministry says
Gaza health ministry director condemns international silence. Dr Munir al-Bursh says hospitals are facing miserable conditions. He accuses Israel of “deliberately spreading infectious diseases and epidemics”
Dr Munir al-Bursh, director general of Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, has condemned international silence towards “the massacres committed against the starving population” of Gaza.
Hospitals are facing miserable conditions in light of the acute shortage of medicines and medical consumables, al-Bursh said in a statement shared by the health ministry today.
He said Israel is “still preventing about 3,000 trucks carrying health supplies in the Egyptian city of Al-Arish from crossing to the Gaza Strip”.
He also accused Israel of “deliberately spreading infectious diseases and epidemics by continuing to prevent the flow of medicines and vaccines” as well as “depriving the population of water security”.
