RAMALLAH, Sunday, November 5, 2023 (WAFA) – Minister of Health Mai Alkaila has demanded all health ministries around the world, as well as medical and healthcare associations and unions, to take action and condemn the daily massacres targeting Gaza, including its healthcare system.

In a press statement, Alkaila said the Israeli occupation continues to target everything in the Gaza Strip, including hospitals, places of worship, and shelter centers inside schools, in a blatant disregard for all international laws.

"Continuous massacres over the past 30 days have resulted in over 9,700 martyrs, including 4,800 children," Alkaila explained. "These massacres have not spared medical personnel, with over 150 healthcare workers being among the martyrs."

Alkaila demanded the immediate provision of a safe humanitarian corridor to allow for the flow of aid, medication, and fuel into Gaza, especially in view of the deliberate Israeli attacks on ambulance convoys transporting the wounded, hindering their transfer to the Rafah crossing for treatment in Egypt.

She stressed that "ethics, laws, and humanity cannot be portioned. The world is facing a real test of the honesty of its slogans that call for compassion, the rejection of violence, and the protection of children and women."
