2024-02-07 War on Gaza: Red Cross warns of ‘catastrophic’ health situation for chronically ill patients The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said there is a “catastrophic” healthcare situation in the Gaza Strip, as it warned there might only be two functioning hospitals left for the whole population in the coming days.
Speaking to Middle East Eye, the organisation’s chief protection officer, Christian Cardon de Lichtbuer, said the healthcare infrastructure of the enclave had been left in “survival mode” following months of Israeli bombardment. “There are still three hospitals functioning, and probably in the coming days, only two hospitals for a population of 2.3 million. These are facts, and this is catastrophic,” he explained. Lichtbuer said that all medical teams in Gaza were focused on dealing with emergency treatment, and that meant people with chronic illnesses and conditions were being neglected. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-red-cross-hospitals-catastrophic 2024-02-07 Israeli Forces Kill Paramedic, Open Fire on Al Amal Hospitalhttps://www.palestinechronicle.com/israeli-forces-kill-paramedic-open-fire-on-al-amal-hospital/
