The spokesperson for al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, Khalil al-Daqran says that "Israel" has used weapons banned by international law resulting in increased critical injuries among the wounded.

In Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced that as a result of the unprecedented bombing targeting the Strip and the communications blackout imposed by the occupation, the ambulances and paramedic teams were completely "paralyzed".

In turn, the spokesperson for al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, Khalil al-Daqran, asked residents to "transport the injured to the hospital using their civilian cars, or any other means."

Al-Daqran also underscored that a large number of martyrs and wounded have already reached the hospital with many more anticipated.

The spokesperson also stressed that the majority of injuries are critical and result from the "occupation's usage of internationally banned weapons."

ICRC dubs Gaza humanitarian situation 'nothing short than desperate'

The Director of Operations of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Martin Schuepp announced that the current humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is "nothing short than desperate".

This comes after "Israel" isolated the Gaza Strip from the world, last night, and unleashed hundreds of missiles claiming to target Palestinian Resistance targets, while in fact targeting Gaza's civilian infrastructure.

Moreover, the Israeli occupation also limited the information circulating regarding the losses of the Israeli Occupation Forces in their attempted "ground invasion" in the hopes that they can sway public opinion and give the illusion of regaining control and establishing deterrence in the face of the Palestinian Resistance.

However, "Israel" has achieved nothing in Gaza so far vis-a-vis ending Hamas and the Resistance, and its only achievement was to commit incremental genocide by targeting civilians as the Resistance continues to shower "Tel Aviv" with rockets and continues to protect the Strip from any claimed Israeli ground invasion.
