Mhana, empathized that performing humanitarian tasks in current conditions is nearly impossible. He pointed out that the crisis in southern Gaza is as severe as that in the north Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

"We warned about this from the early hours when hospitals turned into war zones and cemeteries”– ICRC.

He also highlighted the critical situation at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, and that any hostile operations around hospitals must consider civilians, medical teams, patients, the wounded, and especially the vulnerable women and children. They are entitled to special protection according to international humanitarian law, and laws of war must be respected and enforced.


Mhana added that thousands of trapped residents in Gaza reach out for help. Some reported tragic losses, forcing them to bury family members at home or seal off rooms due to the inability to leave amidst the fighting. He called for immediate and absolute protection for civilians, allowing them to exit safely.

"Our teams face extremely challenging conditions, experiencing what the people in Gaza are going through," ICRC.

Mhana also said that “Our teams in ICRC face extremely challenging conditions, experiencing what the people in Gaza are going through. We attempted to reach northern Gaza to deliver medical supplements and humanitarian aid or even evacuate the wounded from some hospitals like Al-Shifa and Al-Quds hospitals. Unfortunately, we found ourselves in extreme danger.”
