Gaza Herald – Gaza’s Ministry of Health Director-General, Munir al-Barsh, revealed Thursday that nearly 170,000 wounded Palestinians are waiting for urgent medical care, while over 400 surgeries are immediately needed to save lives.
Barsh emphasized that hospitals across Gaza are grappling with an unprecedented resource crisis, with medical supplies running dangerously low and healthcare staff stretched to the breaking point.
He warned that without immediate aid deliveries, thousands of wounded and sick Palestinians risk losing their lives as the health system struggles to cope with the aftermath of Israel’s genocidal assault.
