The ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip for 90 days has now resulted in the martyrdom of 22,500 Palestinians according to the ministry of health in Gaza.

According to the Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra, more than 57,600 Palestinians have also been injured as a result of Israeli strikes in the strip, emphasizing that 70% of the victims are women and children.

Al-Qudra added that targetting Gaza's health facilities has led to the martyrdom of 326 healthcare workers and the destruction of 121 ambulances, emphasizing that the Israeli occupation deliberately targeted 150 health institutions and put 30 hospitals and 53 health centers out of service in the Gaza Strip.

The spokesman reported the arrest of 99 health workers by the occupation in inhumane conditions and accused the occupation of using physical and psychological torture against them, stressing that the occupation's actions endanger the Awda Hospital, Nasser Medical Complex, and Al-Amal Hospital which are affiliated with the Red Crescent Society in Khan Younis after repeatedly targeting them.

Al-Qudra called on international organizations to take urgent action to protect hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip, secure the access of wounded Palestinians to hospitals, and ensure the occupation does not repeat the assault on al-Shifa hospital.

10,000 cancer patients in Gaza lack life-saving treatment

On Tuesday, health officials in Gaza reported that more than 10,000 cancer patients in Gaza lack access to life-saving treatment as a result of the forced closure of the lone cancer hospital during the Israeli aggression.

Cancer patients in the besieged Strip are subjected to "unbearable" and "inhumane" conditions, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA.

Individuals also do not have access to specialist cancer therapy medications, the agency added, making their already tough conditions much worse.

Dr. Subhi Skaik, director of the cancer hospital, expressed in a Monday statement that “after the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital for Cancer was forced to go out of service, 10,000 cancer patients are facing compelling and inhumane circumstances."

Israeli airstrikes on the Palestinian-Turkish Friendship Hospital on October 30 caused severe damage and rendered the institution inoperable.

UNRWA Director of Communications Juliette Touma said in a post on X on Monday, "1.4 million people in Gaza sheltering in UNRWA facilities and many more in the vicinity, sleeping outside."

In the same context, Touma said on December 30, as quoted by BBC, that over 1.4 million people forcibly displaced by the Israeli aggression are currently residing in UNRWA facilities, primarily repurposed schools.
