The Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir al-Barsh, confirmed at dawn on Saturday that the Israeli occupation wants to achieve an imaginary victory by taking pictures of its forces from Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Al-Barsh told Al Mayadeen that the direct Israeli bombing of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza has been ongoing persistently for three days.

The Director General also pointed out that the martyrs’ families are unable to bury their loved ones because they simply cannot leave the hospital.

Al-Barsh pointed out that the only option they have is to stand strong, adding that they are coming up with whatever tools available to help the sick and wounded.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs spokesperson: The IOF arrested ambulance drivers

On his part, the spokesperson for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza, Khalil al-Dakran, told Al Mayadeen that the medical crews at the hospital cannot treat the large numbers of injuries they are receiving due to the shortage of medicines.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's measures aimed at concealing its crimes, contact with al-Dakran, who was speaking from Gaza, was cut off several times.

The spokesperson further explained that ambulance drivers were arrested by the Israeli occupation during their work across the governorates today despite prior coordination with the International Red Cross.

He also confirmed that the Israeli occupation cut off all means of communication between hospitals, on the one hand, and between the hospitals and their ambulance crews, on the other.

Point of no return

Earlier on Friday, the International Red Cross said in a statement that the health system in the Gaza Strip "has reached a point of no return."

On another note, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported on Friday that the number of Palestinians martyred due to the ongoing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip has risen to 11,078, with a total of 4,506 children included.

Meanwhile, several hospitals have reportedly been encircled by IOF tanks.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli occupation forces tanks have besieged the Al-Rantisi and Al-Nasr Hospitals for Children, both of which are located within one residential bloc, facing the al-Shati Camp in the Gaza Strip.

On the 35th day of the war, our correspondent pointed out that Al-Rantisi Hospital was forced to stop operating due to it being besieged, despite it being the only hospital that treats children's cancer in Gaza.

Earlier, the IOF reportedly targeted Al-Rantisi Hospital's basement parking lot, causing a massive fire in a number of the cars belonging to the hospital.

Simultaneously, Israeli artillery shelling was renewed toward the maternity ward of Al-Shifa Hospital, located in the central western region of Gaza City. According to the Government Media Office in Gaza, 13 Palestinians were martyred and dozens of others were wounded after the IOF bombed Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Moreover, the IOF, according to Israeli media, have warned to evacuate hospitals across the Strip.

Al-Rantisi Children's Hospital and Al-Nasr Children's Hospital were both put out of service, causing direct harm to hundreds of thousands of citizens, including tens of thousands of children, according to the government media office, which confirmed that more than 3,000 children will be deprived of oncology treatment and dialysis services.

Summing up the situation in a statement, the director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex wrote, "Today was a day of war on hospitals," further expressing concerns that the IOF might target the entire medical complex.

Describing the crisis faced by hospitals due to the blockade, he said the situation was "tragic in every sense of the word," emphasizing that medical teams are unable to perform surgical operations. The responsibility for the patients and the wounded at Al-Shifa Hospital was placed on the world as a whole.

He highlighted that the displaced individuals within the hospital premises remain without food or water, emphasizing that the international community "has not provided us with a single drop of water or even a liter of fuel, and we are in a real crisis."
