The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced today, Tuesday, that the death toll from the Israeli war on the Strip has risen to 27,585 martyrs and 66,978 injured since October 7, 2023.
This came in a statement in which the ministry presented the latest statistics on the 123rd day of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The Ministry explained that the Israeli occupation committed 12 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, leaving 107 martyrs and 143 injured during the past 24 hours.
She pointed out that there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and the occupation is preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.
Siege of Nasser Hospital
In a related context, the spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, said that the medical staff, the wounded, and the displaced in the Nasser Medical Complex are without food, and there is a severe shortage of surgical supplies and sutures, pointing out that the electrical generators in the complex will stop within 4 days due to the lack of fuel.
He added that ambulance crews are risking their lives in order to save the wounded as a result of the occupation preventing the movement of ambulances, as the siege tightens on the Nasser Medical Complex and intensively targets its surroundings.
Al-Qudra pointed out that the occupation is putting the lives of 300 medical personnel, 450 wounded, and 10,000 displaced people in immediate danger.
For his part, the director of the Nasser Complex Surgery Hospital, Nahed Abu Taima, told Manhattan Tribune that the occupation forces are continuing heavy gunfire around the complex, adding that since the siege of the hospital about two weeks ago, 630 wounded have arrived, most of them seriously injured.
He explained that they are facing major and dangerous challenges, including a shortage of medical personnel and a severe shortage of fuel, which puts the lives of patients and injured at risk.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza – most of its victims are children and women – according to the Palestinian authorities, and it has caused massive destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the United Nations.
