Suhayb al-Hams, director of the Kuwaiti Specialized Hospital in Rafah, has appealed to the World Health Organization (WHO) to fulfill its responsibilities and supply the hospital, which is currently the only operational hospital in Rafah, with medications and fuel.

Al-Hams also urged the WHO and the Red Cross to protect the medical staff at the hospital to ensure the continued delivery of healthcare to the wounded and sick.

Moreover, al-Hams warned of a looming health disaster in Rafah due to the ongoing aggression by the Israeli occupation forces and the expansion of the military operation into the city, demanding that international institutions immediately open a safe passage to ensure that there are no obstacles to the entry of health and humanitarian supplies to Rafah.

The director of the only hospital in Rafah called on the entire world to "stop watching our blood and body parts on TV screens, and to take to the streets and hold sit-ins in front of embassies to demand an end to the genocide in the Gaza Strip."

In the latest developments of the aggression, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that in central Gaza, 48 Palestinians were killed, in addition to 15 martyrs in Rafah, and 43 martyrs along with numerous wounded in an Israeli occupation bombing that targeted homes in the al-Bureij camp.

He also noted the continued Israeli artillery, helicopter, and naval shelling against the al-Zaytoun neighborhood north of the Gaza Strip, where civil defense teams headed to retrieve victims.

It was also reported that there is intense Israeli artillery shelling and aerial bombardment targeting east Rafah, as well as shelling that affected the Tal al-Sultan area in west Rafah, which houses thousands of displaced people.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that the bodies of several martyrs are still strewn on the roads in the northern sector, noting that the hospitals in Gaza City and the northern sector are out of service, except for Kamal Adwan Hospital.

In addition to air raids and artillery shelling, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that occupation helicopters fired toward residents in the Hassan al-Banna area south of al-Zaytoun, and occupation tanks fired at citizens in the al-Jawazat area east of Rafah city.

The Israeli artillery shelling renewed on the northern Nuseirat area in central Gaza and against the town of Absan al-Kabira near Khan Younis city.
