00:00In Palestine, the Red Crescent Society denounced the Israeli blockade for putting the lives of thousands of Gazans at risk.
00:07Since the partial opening of the Rafah crossing in February, only 700 patients have been allowed to leave for outpatient
00:14treatments.
00:15According to the organization, this number is insufficient, given that more than 18,000 sick and seriously injured people
00:21are waiting urgent evacuation due to the collapse of the hospital system in the enclave.
00:26The restrictions also prevent the entry of basic medical supplies, as well as fuel and spare parts for ambulances.
00:33The Gaz and Ministry of Health warn that at least 2,000 critical cases must be evacuated in the coming
00:39weeks to avoid an imminent catastrophe.
