World Health Organization spokesman Tariq Yasarevich said that the humanitarian and health conditions are in Gaza Strip The catastrophic, warning of the continued prevention of the introduction of medical and food supplies and fuel to health facilities that are still working in the besieged sector.
In an interview with Al -Jazeera from Geneva, he explained that the organization is doing everything it can to support hospitals that are still providing the minimum services, but the scarcity of supplies since last March prevents meeting the worsening needs.
He pointed out that the organization previously managed to deliver limited quantities of fuel to hospitals with the aim of continuing to operate electricity generators, but this is not sufficient in light of the urgent need for urgent food and medical supplies.
He warned that the situation is heading towards more deterioration, as the fuel running out over and the work of generators stops, which will lead to the exit of additional health facilities from service at any moment, especially in the absence of hospitals working north of Gaza.
9 trucks within a week
He stated that the organization introduced only 9 medical trucks during the past week, which included blood and plasma units, but it represents only a drop in the sea of increasing needs, stressing the need to allow the supplies to reach without delay or obstacles.
Yassarific stressed that the global health teams are in daily contact with the working hospitals, and are closely following their increasing needs, but the possibility of movement remains restricted by the permission of the Israeli authorities.
He explained that the basic drugs, fuel and foods needed by hospitals are classified in some cases as double use supplies, which requires frequent negotiations to enter them, which hinders relief efforts.
He pointed out that the organization, like other international agencies, maintains ready -made trucks loaded with supplies, but it was unable to enter them due to obstacles, despite the escalation of repeated calls to stop the suffering of the population and spare them to death or as a result of a lack of health care.
Yassarific strongly criticized the existing model for the distribution of aid in Gaza, describing it as not affiliated with the United Nations, and resulted in the killing of a large number of civilians, calling for the protection of civilians and the guarantee of the arrival of humanitarian supplies safely and regularly.
There are many causes of death
He stressed that the inhabitants of Gaza are starving, and that those who die do not fall due to the bombing alone, but also because the hospitals are unable to provide the minimum services in light of the complete collapse of the health infrastructure, stressing the need for this to stop.
The statements of a spokesman for the World Health Organization come at a time when the Director of Field Hospitals at the Ministry of Health in Gaza warned against stopping the remaining hospitals from work, noting the legalization of supplies due to the acute shortage and the fullness of intensive care rooms.
