Ramallah / PNN /

Palestinian Health Minister Mai al-Kaila said that 28 healthcare workers have been martyred, and dozens have been injured during the ongoing Israeli aggression against our people in Gaza for the eighth consecutive day.

Al-Kaila added in a press statement today, Saturday, that 15 medical centers were damaged due to the bombardment, and Beit Hanoun Hospital and Al-Durrah Children's Hospital have stopped providing services. Additionally, 23 ambulance vehicles were damaged and rendered inoperative.

She reiterated her calls to the international community, the United Nations, human rights organizations, and international entities to urgently provide protection for hospitals, treatment centers, ambulances, healthcare personnel, patients, and the wounded who are subjected to Israeli shelling on a daily basis.

She added that the occupation forces daily threaten hospitals in the Gaza Strip with evacuation, a clear threat to the lives of hundreds of patients and the wounded, including Al-Durrah Children's Hospital, which was evacuated yesterday after being bombed with internationally prohibited white phosphorus bombs, and Beit Hanoun Hospital, which also ceased operations due to Israeli bombardment.
