The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced the death of more than 4,137 Palestinians in Gaza and the injury of 13,000 as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip for the 14th day in a row.

Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that 8 were martyred as a result of the Israeli occupation aircraft that bombed the Atallah family home in the Yarmouk neighborhood in Gaza City during the last hours.

The aggression comes after four hospitals were taken out of service and the strategic stock in the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip ended, which makes the health situation in the Gaza Strip catastrophic, according to what Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.

"الوضع الصحي في #غزة كارثي، بعد خروج 4 مستشفيات عن الخدمة، وهناك 22 مستشفىً تمّ تهديدها أيضاً بالإخلاء، تمهيداً لقصفها"

In the same context, Doctors Without Borders reported that electricity fuel in Al-Shifa Hospital, the main hospital in Gaza, will run out within 24 hours.

Last Sunday, the International Committees of the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip announced that "hospitals will not be able to care for the wounded and sick due to the depletion of supplies."

The Red Cross confirmed that it will not be able to continue its humanitarian work unless more supplies are brought into Gaza.

Also, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned earlier that "fuel reserves in all hospitals in the Gaza Strip will run out," stressing that "The shutdown of backup generators would place the lives of thousands of patients at risk."

The director of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza also announced that operations would be performed without anesthesia and in the streets.

Last Tuesday, the occupation forces targeted the Baptist Hospital in the center of the Gaza Strip, killing more than 500, most of them children and women.

In conjunction with the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza for 13 days, the occupation tightened its siege on Gaza and bombed the Rafah crossing, which exacerbated the humanitarian crisis.

Video scenes showed Palestinians in Gaza resorting to drinking unclean water, due to the depletion of drinking water, which portends a serious health crisis that threatens the lives of citizens.

A bakery of the UN's World Food Programme in the Gaza Strip was bombed last night, according to the WFP, which explained that the bakery was distributing bread to displaced families in shelter centers.

"Of the 23 bakeries we work with, only 4 are operating today because most of them have run out of fuel," said World Food Program Executive Director Cindy McCain.
