Israel bombed 250 hospitals, clinics and ambulances in both Gaza and the West Bank.World Health Organization Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated this on Friday before the UN Security Council.

“The health system (in Gaza) is on its knees,” said Ghebreyesus, who illustrated his statement as follows:

Hospital corridors are crowded with the wounded, sick or dying; overcrowded morgues; operations without anesthesia and tens of thousands of displaced Gazans and refugees in hospitals.

The WHO director was invited to explain to the Security Council the health situation in Gaza after a month of Israeli attacks, and also warned of the risk that among the 1.5 million Gazans forcibly displaced and living in small quarters, “The risk of diarrhea, respiratory problems and skin infections increases.”

“Every ten minutes a child dies in the Gaza Strip”

He stressed that among the more than 11 thousand people killed in Gaza, there are a large number Women and childrenand gave terrible information:

Every ten minutes a child dies in the Gaza Strip.

Half of the 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip and two-thirds of primary health care centers are no longer operational, Ghebreyesus warned, adding that in the last 48 hours alone, four hospitals were crippled by explosions, resulting in the loss of 430 beds.

And despite these dramatic findings, Israel’s UN ambassador Gilad Erdan justified the attacks on hospitals by saying Hamas was hiding in their basements and using its network of ambulances to get around. (EFE)
