The occupation is practicing medical genocide in Gaza

The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that hospitals are drowning in what it called a “sea of injuries,” and that the number of patients exceeds their capacity. It noted that bed occupancy rates in some hospitals, including Al-Shifa, range between 180% and 300%.

In a statement, it explained that bed occupancy rates at Al-Shifa Hospital reached 240%, at Al-Rantisi Hospital 210%, at Nasser Hospital 180%, and at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital 300%.

It indicated that hospitals are resorting to covering corridors and floors to accommodate the increasing number of patients and injured.

The Ministry renewed its urgent appeal to the international community, UN, and humanitarian organizations to provide immediate and effective support to assist the health sector in Gaza.

In this context, the Ministry of Health announced yesterday that the death toll resulting from the Israeli starvation policy has risen to 175 Palestinians, including 93 children, since the start of the war on October 7, 2023.
