Dr. Ashraf al-Qedra, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, described “Israel’s” ongoing aggression against the strip as a “genocide against Gaza, in full view of the world, which continues to sit idly by.”
He further noted that during the past eight days, since the start of the aggression last Saturday, more than 55 Palestinian families were removed from official records, as they were massacred by the Israeli occupation.
Regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip amid the occupation's war crimes and the targeting of civilian buildings and hospitals, Al-Qedra noted that medical crews “will not respond to Israeli threats to evacuate hospitals; they have made the decision to continue working. They will stay in place and continue to fulfill their duty and not evacuate the hospitals, even if they should be leveled over our heads.”
The Health Ministry’s spokesperson also asked the Jordanian field hospital not to leave the Gaza Strip and demanded that the international community work on evacuating the sick and wounded through a safe corridor for treatment outside of Gaza.
He further demanded that a safe corridor be opened in order to let in medical aid and fuel to the Gaza Strip, or else a catastrophe is expected.
