Ahmed Jibril, Director of the Palestinian Red Crescent Ambulance, stated today, Tuesday, that the Gaza Strip still needs more aid, especially medical aid, pointing out that hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip are completely full of injured people.
Jibril said in an interview with "Al-Qahira News" channel that the Egyptian side is making great efforts to secure aid in the Gaza Strip, noting that the depletion of fuel in aid trucks hinders their receipt operations.
The Ambulance Director added that the Israeli occupation army fires at humanitarian aid convoys reaching hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, Raed Al-Nams, Director of Media for the Palestinian Red Crescent, reported that the ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza's areas and hospitals have greatly worsened the humanitarian situation and paralyzed the health system, in addition to the medical teams' inability to provide their services to patients and the wounded under these disastrous current conditions.
He indicated that the wounded and sick in Gaza hospitals are exposed to slow death amid the lack of a minimum level of healthcare with the depletion of fuel, medical supplies, and relief materials, pointing out that 25 hospitals out of 35 across the Gaza Strip have gone out of service due to the depletion of fuel, medical supplies, medicines, and power outages, because of the continuous Israeli aggression on the Strip for the second consecutive month.
The Israeli aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip entered its 39th day, and the death toll has exceeded 11,000 martyrs so far, including more than 4,000 children, according to what the health authorities in Gaza announced.
For his part, Dr. Ahmad Al-Dakhiri, the regional director of Doctors Without Borders, appealed to the international community to provide water in the Gaza Strip and the materials necessary to purify non-potable water.
The regional director called, in a phone intervention on "Al-Qahira News" channel, for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and to provide a safe passage for ambulances to transport patients and facilitate the arrival of fuel.
Al-Dakhiri pointed out that the continuous bombing of civilians and hospitals in Gaza is unacceptable and contradicts humanitarian law, and that the situation in Gaza's hospitals is a tragedy and a death sentence document against the Palestinians.
