The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza warned on Monday that sewage water is flooding the emergency department and hindering the work of medical teams at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, with fears of it spreading to the radiology section.

In a statement, the ministry stressed the need to protect the technical staff to move within the premises of the health facility to repair the sewage network, as Israeli occupation forces are opening fire to kill any individual spotted moving outside its buildings.

The ministry's spokesperson, Ashraf al-Qudra, sounded the alarm on the complex's deteriorating situation, stating that Israeli snipers killed seven Palestinians and wounded 14 others, including members of the medical teams who tried to move inside the institution's courtyards.

Even Palestinians who attempted to cross into the complex to take shelter from the relentless Israeli strikes were shot at its gates.

The ministry's spokesperson urged international institutions to intervene and protect the complex and all the people it is housing.

In its latest report, the Ministry announced that the total number of Palestinian martyrs due to the ongoing Israeli genocide has risen to 28,340 on day 129 of the war, with injuries exceeding 67,984.
