The UN Aid Coordination Office (OCHA) revealed that five hospitals in the north are essentially shut off from life-saving medical supplies and equipment due to Israeli authorities’ persistent refusals to permit UN relief teams to deliver urgently needed humanitarian support within Gaza.
OCHA maintained that requests to reach the Central Drug Store in Gaza City and Al Awda Hospital in Jabalya, farther north, had been turned down five times since December 26. This comes amid fresh reports on Wednesday of increased bombing and fighting throughout the Strip.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said that 15 of Gaza’s 36 facilities are still “partially functional.” On the other hand, about 500.000 individuals have received medical care and services from the UN and its health partners since hostilities began.
OCHA declared that 126 Palestinians had died between the afternoons of January 8 and 9, with another 241 injured, citing the Gazan health authorities.
As more civilians leave hostilities in response to Israeli evacuation orders, UN humanitarians reinforce their warnings regarding the increased risk of disease in the Gaza Strip, particularly in the southern city of Rafah.
