Over 200 Palestinians were killed and 2,300 more wounded in the last 24 hours as Israeli forces carried out new massacres across the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said on Sunday that Israeli forces committed at least 20 new massacres against Palestinian civilians in the last 24 hours.
In a press conference, the ministry spokesperson, Dr. Ashraf al-Qudra, said that 210 dead bodies and over 2,300 wounded Palestinians arrived at hospitals in the Strip. Moreover, a large number of missing persons are still under the rubble and cannot be rescued, as Israel continues to target ambulance and civil defense crews.
Targeting Hospitals
Al-Qudra said that the Israeli army continued to target hospitals and medical staff and revealed a horrific crime committed by Israeli snipers, who killed and wounded several pregnant women at the Kamal Adwan Hospital, in northern Gaza.
Residents of northern Gaza “are subjected to extermination from house to house and from school to school, and the wounded are left to die as a result of the siege of hospitals,” Al-Qudra said.
The ministry spokesperson added that Israeli forces “deliberately displaced oncology patients from treatment places for the second time,” when they forced patients and staff to evacuate the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital south of Gaza City.
Moreover, Israeli occupation soldiers arrested three paramedics and seized several ambulances. 36 health workers are still in Israeli detention, including the head of Al-Shifa Hospital, Dr. Muhammad Abu Salamiya.
