Geneva - Ma'an - The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Thursday that all health facilities in the southern Gaza Strip have reached the point of collapse due to the ongoing Israeli occupation bombing. The head of the ICRC sub-delegation in Gaza, William Schomburg, explained that the large number of victims led to the ICRC's hospital and all health facilities in southern Gaza reaching the point of collapse and their inability to treat those suffering from life-threatening injuries. The organization indicated that its field hospital has 60 beds in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. She pointed out that the occupation army's bombing of the Al-Mawasi area last Saturday led to the arrival of 26 wounded people to the facility, including children who were injured by shrapnel. The committee stressed that any further aggression that causes such a large number of casualties will force doctors and nurses to make very difficult choices, explaining that the current medical needs of civilians far exceed th e limited available capabilities, and that hospitals have been forced to close several times. 'It is unimaginable how many patients needed resuscitation after the influx of casualties on Saturday,' said Dr. Pankaj Jaldiyal, in addition to the 26 wounded who were transferred from Mawasi to the Red Cross field hospital for treatment. The facility received an additional 850 people in its outpatient department last week, about half of them women and a third of them children. The organization confirmed that most of the patients have been displaced from their homes several times and live with limited amounts of food and drinking water in crowded areas, which makes them more vulnerable to disease, noting that its team has provided 12,000 medical consultations and more than 500 surgeries since the facility opened in May. The occupation continues its land, sea and air aggression on the Gaza Strip, as the death toll has risen to 38,794 martyrs and 89,364 wounded. Source: Maan News Agency
