"We at
the Palestinian Red Crescent are deeply concerned about the deteriorating
humanitarian situation, and we are facing a humanitarian disaster if Israel carries
out its threats and launches a ground incursion with airstrikes on both Gaza
and the north," she said.
"We
have an ambulance center of the
Red Crescent and also the Jerusalem Hospital,
and both of them, in addition to many hospitals in the threatened area, are at
risk of being bombed at any moment."
"Yesterday,
we received 3 threats from the Israeli occupation authorities to evacuate
Jerusalem Hospital by 4 pm at the latest, and we did not evacuate it, nor will
we."
Farsakh
said there were at least 400 patients in intensive care that could not be
safely evacuated and said staff were working around the clock with many of the
paramedics and workers' families unable to communicate with their families.
Farsakh
called for pressure on the Israeli occupation to cancel the evacuation order
and allow the Red Crescent to carry out its humanitarian mission.
"The
fuel in our warehouses may run out in two days, which means that ambulance
vehicles will not be able to perform their duties," according to Farsakh.
She
emphasized that there is a threat to
bomb the ambulance center, hospitals, and
health facilities in Gaza and the north, but all paramedics have refused to
abandon their humanitarian duty, despite the danger and threats to their lives.
They have remained at work for 9 days without leaving the ambulance centers,
even though their communication has been cut off, and they do not know the fate
of their families.
