The Ministry of Health reported that sanitary and humanitarian conditions in the shelters were catastrophic. At least 1.8 million people are displaced, at risk of famine and severe cold, as well as the transmission of diseases and epidemics.
He also explained that the child population in detention centers faces numerous risks, including dehydration, starvation, digestive and respiratory diseases, skin diseases and anemia.
He also denounced that 50,000 pregnant women housed in shelter centers lack access to water, food and health care, and that around 180 women give birth every day in dangerous and inhumane conditions.
Among patients with kidney failure, 70 percent face catastrophic health risks due to bombings, displacement and difficulty accessing dialysis services, particularly in northern Gaza.
Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra also denounced that a large number of people are losing their lives due to medical complications, severe infections and burns.
In this sense, he called on countries and health institutions around the world to provide field hospitals and special medical equipment and to work together in Gaza to save the lives of the wounded.
The official also called on all international institutions to immediately work to urgently build the Al-Shifa medical complex and hospitals in northern Gaza to save the lives of the wounded and sick.
