Dr Ashraf al-Qudra, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, says four medical crews have been detained. The head of al-Shifa Hospital is among the healthcare professionals held by Israeli forces.

In a daily briefing, al-Qudra also said 56 ambulances have been destroyed by Israel and the entire health sector is unable to provide necessary treatment as a result of a lack of medical equipment and staff.

“We are attending to hundreds of victims on the floors of hospitals,” he said. “Hospitals are helpless. They are overwhelmed as a result of the large number of victims.”

Al-Qudra said Israel is “willfully targeting the remaining medical facilities in the north so residents are forced to move to the south”. He said only 403 patients have been allowed to leave Gaza for treatment.

“We appeal to the world to put an end to this genocidal war on Gaza,” he said. “We call on all parties to work towards providing a humanitarian corridor whereby fuel and medical teams are allowed in and victims are allowed outside.”
