00:00 In Gaza Strip, the World Health Organization, controlled by the Israeli army, is no longer
00:04 functioning after weeks of a long siege, but in the facility still remains a number of
00:09 patients in critical conditions.
00:11 Our correspondent in the area, Noor Harassin, brings us all the details.
00:16 The World Health Organization managed to evacuate 18 patients from the Al-Nasr Hospital and
00:22 hospitalized them and transferred them to the Shahada al-Aqsa Hospital, which is located
00:28 in Deir al-Balah.
00:29 They managed to do the same thing two days ago, evacuating 14 patients, and this brings
00:36 the total of patients that were evacuated from the Al-Nasr Hospital up to 32 patients.
00:42 Some of them are with critical injuries, some of them with kidney failure, but still we
00:49 are talking about more than 100 people who are still inside the hospital.
00:55 Dr. Ashraf al-Qadra, who is the spokesperson of the Palestinian Health Ministry, said that
01:01 these people are in critical condition, they need to be transferred.
01:05 The World Health Organization should be pressuring Israel into allowing these people outside of
01:12 the hospital and allow the World Health Organization to evacuate the patients from the hospital.
01:20 And this comes as the hospitals in Gaza are already suffering with the lack of medicine
01:25 and medical supplies, so even the patients who were transferred outside of the Al-Nasr
01:31 Hospital, their lives are in danger because of the lack of medicine and because also of
01:36 the continuous Israeli attacks around hospitals.
01:41 Now we are talking about more than 15 main hospitals that shut down here in Gaza since
01:48 the 7th of October, and we are talking about dozens of clinics and health care clinics
01:53 that shut down due to the Israeli continuous attacks on the hospitals and the lack of medicine
01:59 and medical supplies.
02:01 And in the latest statement by the Palestinian Health Ministry, they said that the death
02:06 toll in Gaza has reached 29,120 people, 70 percent of them are women and children.
02:16 in the region of Tirisur, Gaza.
