GENEVA, Friday, December 8, 2023 (WAFA) –  Gaza's health system is on its knees and cannot afford to lose another ambulance or a single hospital bed more, the World Health Organization warned today.

"The situation is getting more and more horrible by the day... beyond belief, literally," WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told a press briefing in Geneva.

"The health system is on its knees. Gaza cannot afford to lose any more health facilities, another single ambulance, any more hospitals... or even a single hospital bed more."

The United Nations' humanitarian agency OCHA said yesterday that only 14 of the 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip were functioning in any capacity.

Israel's air and ground aggression on Gaza has killed nearly 17,000 people, the majority of women are innocent civilians, including children, according to the Ministry of Health.
