How did the Gaza Denied Health Infrastructure/ Zionists turn hospitals into ruins?

Mehr, International Group – Azar Mahdvan, Yasser al -Masri: Zionist regime that Soda was forced to sign a truce agreement and exit the Gaza Strip.

Zionist regime attacks and attacks in the Gaza Strip during the six months have caused the biggest damage to the treatment and health sector of the Strip, despite the start of humanitarian aid but to the start of humanitarian aid. Saying Department of Health Field Hospitals Gaza , Upon only 5 medical aid trucks have arrived in Gaza, of which 2 trucks have been sent north of Gaza and 2 trucks to southern Gaza. These values ​​are by no means enough and do not cover the real needs.

Mehr News Agency And Gaza’s public and field hospitals and hospitals talk to Dr. “ Marwan al-Hames , Department of Field Hospitals of the Ministry of Health tape Gaza has written text:

What is the status of hospitals? How many field hospitals and how many patients are being treated in these hospitals?

We had about 4 public, private and charity hospitals in the Gaza Strip, but with the start of the war, there are only seven hospitals remaining much less than the need. Is real. The Zionist regime has targeted about 2 % of health infrastructure, including hospitals and medical centers. Also, we had four primary medical care centers, most of which had the most advanced level of service, but after the devastation of the war, there are only five centers left.

After the demolition of many hospitals and medical centers, field hospitals were established, some of which were established with international support and others with domestic efforts. Currently, the number of these hospitals reaches five, including two hospitals belonging to the Arab countries: one Emirates and the other Jordan. In addition, hospitals are also sponsored by international organizations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and World Medical Organizations.

Despite the many efforts of these field hospitals, their operational capacity is exceeding the capacity of a large public hospital. With the increase in the number of refugees, these hospitals have a lot of pressure and are unable to meet patients’ needs.

pre-war hospitals that accommodated the least number of patients were treating between 1 and 2 patients daily, while larger hospitals between 1 and 2 daily Had the patient and the client.

In the case of hospitals that have been destroyed, we lost the largest hospital in Gaza, the Al-Shafa Hospital. The hospital included all medical specialties, including advanced surgery such as organ transplantation and open heart surgery. The hospital was doing complex operations worldwide, but the Zionist regime completely destroyed all its buildings and left nothing left. Currently, we have created a temporary emergency department for reception of injured and patients in Gaza, but this section does not meet the minimum medical needs.

Also, the northern hospitals of the Gaza Strip have not been protected from bombing and demolition. Hospitals “Kamal Advan, Indonesia Hospital and Al -Uuda Hospital” were under heavy attacks. The Zionist regime deliberately burned the Kamal Hospital and completely destroyed it. The Indonesian Hospital was also severely damaged, especially its upper floors, and al -Audi Hospital was targeted and destroyed. With the start of the ceasefire, we have begun the process of repairing and repairing some of these hospitals, but the needs are much higher than the facilities.

The situation in the city of Rafah is even more critical because its infrastructure and health system are almost completely destroyed. The Zionist regime has targeted three main hospitals in the city, of which the two hospitals have been completely destroyed and only a small part of the third hospital remain. In addition, all medical centers in the east and south of Rafah have been destroyed and only two medical centers remain. This has resulted in a sharp decline in medical services and increased risk of outbreaks within the rally as well as in the north of the Gaza Strip.

Has the reconstruction operation began after the ceasefire began?

We are working hard to rebuild damaged hospitals, although we are still in a state of continuous fighting. During the bombing and destruction, we were able to repair the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, as well as expanding the Shohada Hospital of Aqsi and rebuilding the European Hospital. All of these measures were taken in the middle of the war and despite the harsh conditions and limited facilities.

But now, after the ceasefire begins, the situation has become even more complicated and we are faced with major obstacles to the reconstruction process. We desperately need heavy equipment such as bulldozers, trucks, excavations, and large machinery to clean up the debris, destroy the demolished buildings, and remove the destruction from the hospitals. Some buildings are completely on the verge of collapse and cannot be rebuilt without complete destruction, but the Zionist regime prevents the equipment from entering the Gaza Strip, which has severely disrupted our efforts to rebuild.

Despite these obstacles, we are still waiting for support for the reconstruction of our hospitals and medical centers, as the health situation in Gaza is extremely critical and does not tolerate any delay. .

Has the process of sending aid to the health and health sector began. What is the most important deficiencies in hospitals? Is the doctor sufficiently in Gaza?

Although the ceasefire has entered its third week, the amount of aid received in Gaza is still very limited and does not even meet the minimum needs. So far, only 5 trucks have arrived in Gaza, of which 2 trucks have been sent north of Gaza and 2 trucks to southern Gaza. These values ​​are by no means enough and do not cover the real needs. If we divide these aids into a hospital like Nasser Hospital, these cargoes are not sufficient for a day. Therefore, what has entered Gaza cannot be called real aid, as hospitals continue to suffer from severe drug shortages, medical requirements and vital equipment.

We also face a serious shortage in electrical generators and spare parts, which is a serious threat to continuing hospital activity. In addition, critical diagnostic devices such as CT scans (CT), MRI devices, and cardiac catheterization devices are not fully available in Gaza, which prevents medical care to critical patients and forced us to refer to us. Patients have been out of Gaza for treatment. But the Israeli regime has prevented patients from leaving for treatment and has systematically prevented them from leaving. Although the number of patients needed to exit 2 people was allowed to exit only 5 patients, then it reached 4 people and eventually reduced to 5, which is not enough. / >

On the other hand, the Gaza Health Division has lost more than 2.5 martyrs from its medical staff, including doctors, nurses and rescuers It has led to a severe shortage of physicians and medical staff. Also, five members of the medical staff have been arrested, in addition to being forced to immigrate for persistent Israeli threats.

We need strongly the entry of specialized medical groups to offset this massive deficiency and provide the necessary health services to the people of Gaza, because they deserve the best And they are the highest medical services, but the current reality has even left them at least basic care.

Zionist regime was the most important part of the Gaza War. How do you analyze the reason?

Israeli occupiers implemented a systematic and systematic design to destroy the Gaza Health System, which is known as the “general plan”. It was clear from the outset that the existence of hospitals and medical centers was a major factor in the Palestinian people’s resistance, so the Israeli occupation tried to eliminate this vital element to gain the power of resistance and survival from the Palestinians.

The purpose of the plan was to deprive the injured and the injured and thus weaken popular resistance. We saw hospitals such as Kamal Advan, al -Shafa, al -Aqsa and Nasser who resisted, failed Israeli occupation programs to expel the Palestinians. This led Israel to intensify direct attacks on hospitals and medical centers.

At the beginning of the war, the occupiers attempted to justify its crimes by broadcasting lies and claiming that hospitals were used as command and control centers and hostage. Are there. But when the Israeli army attacked the al -Shafa hospital and the Nasser Hospital, no evidence that it confirmed its claims and was forced to withdraw from there for no reason, while the world media covered it moment by moment and revealed the truth. They did.

However, Israel did not give up on the destruction of hospitals while experiencing this failure, and mainly to target doctors and medical staff. He gave. He killed doctors, detained hospital managers, arrested hundreds of medical staff, and humiliated them in prisons to use them as a tool for pressure on the health system and To collapse.

Despite all this pressure, our will has remained invincible. We resisted and continued to work, despite the demolition, we stood alongside the injured and patients and saved the lives in impossible conditions. The Israeli attack on the health system was not only a war against hospitals, but a war against the humanity of these people and their will. But we proved that we are invincible and we will continue to support our people with all our might.

What kind of help do you help the international community?

the first and most important thing we request is the provision and protection of hospitals. Hospitals must be safe, this is a right that international and human laws guaranteed, but the Israeli occupation has directly targeted them, which has made hospitals an insecure environment for treatment and saving lives.

But there are several basic issues that cannot be ignored:

This is an urgent call to all the world’s liberators, to the Arab and Islamic countries, and anyone who has the ability to help support the health system in Gaza, Because this is the least thing that can be done to save lives that are at risk of death due to lack of medical care.

God bless you and salute our people in Gaza.
