Hani Hamade, Head of the Operations Department of the Ministry of Health, stated in his statement that hundreds of seriously injured people formed long queues in hospitals in Gaza for the necessary interventions.
Emphasizing that the operation and medical teams work 24 hours a day and experience serious fatigue due to the intensity of the operations, Hamade said:
“We call on all relevant parties to intervene quickly to save thousands of injured by opening safe corridors to transport urgent medical needs to health facilities and transfer the injured out of the Gaza Strip. In addition, we request that medical delegations be sent to the city to support the medical teams in the city.”
ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT
Hamas’s armed wing, Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, launched a comprehensive attack on Israel on the morning of October 7, called the “Aqsa Flood”.
While thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israel, Palestinian armed groups raided and seized the Beit Hanun-Erez Border Gate on the Gaza-Israel border.
Armed groups then entered the settlements within Israel from here, and the Israeli army launched an attack on the Gaza Strip with dozens of warplanes.
It was reported that 1,300 Israelis lost their lives and 3,300 Israelis were injured in the attacks carried out from Gaza.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 1,537 people, including 500 children and 276 women, lost their lives and 6,612 people were injured in Gaza during Israeli attacks.
It was also stated that 36 Palestinians died and 650 people were injured in the attacks of Israeli forces and Jewish settlers in the West Bank.
