During the
daily press conference, a stark emphasis was placed on the deliberate targeting
by the Israeli occupation forces of children, women, civilians, and even
safe houses. This unfolds in tandem with the worsening humanitarian conditions
resulting from the brutal massacre and the persistent blockade on the Gaza
Strip over the past 17 years, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
1,142 massacres, over 3,000 missing
The
statement provided detailed insight, revealing that the total number of massacres
committed by the
Israeli occupation forces had reached 1,142, with 3,250
individuals reported missing. Among them, 1,700 children are still believed to
be under the rubble.
Amid the
concentrated targeting of hospitals by the Israeli occupation army,
specifically the intimidation of medical crews, 22 hospitals and 49 health
centers have been rendered inoperative due to the ongoing aggression.
Additionally, 53 ambulances were targeted.
Intensive care unit at Al-Shifa
hospital was directly struck
The
government further elucidated that the Israeli occupation forces directly
struck the intensive care unit at Al-Shifa Hospital, resulting in the
destruction of a portion of it. Furthermore, the top floor of the surgery
building was bombed, with the occupation army targeting the maternity building
using a shell, causing a fire in the adjacent area to the kidney department.
A technical worker was injured
directly in the neck as he moved between surgeriesThe
statement revealed that occupation forces targeted a technical worker directly,
injuring him in the neck as he moved between the surgery buildings to address a
power outage issue. Furthermore, a group of Palestinians, risking their lives,
left the eastern hospital gate and were immediately shelled. Unfortunately,
medical crews were unable to evacuate the martyrs and the wounded due to the
occupation's relentless targeting of anything in motion within the compound.
Occupation
forces also targeted a patient in his room, resulting in fractures in the
shoulder bones. Additionally, the occupation bombed the oxygen pipelines
leading to the maternity and surgery departments and targeted the cardiology
department.
Tragically,
it was confirmed that two children were killed in Al-Khadraj in Al-Shifa
Medical Complex, and a patient in intensive care was lost. Five wounded
individuals were also lost, as medical crews were unable to save their lives
due to the cessation of operating rooms.
