Warning Over Spread of Deadly Diseases in Gaza
webangah news Agency reports that Munir al-Bursh, Director-General of the Gaza Health Ministry, stated: “The occupiers have turned aid distribution mechanisms into traps of death and forced displacement in Gaza.”
He added: “We condemn the international silence regarding the slaughter against starving residents.”
Al-Bursh emphasized: “Hospitals are suffering from severe shortages of medicine and medical equipment. The occupiers are preventing 3,000 trucks carrying medical supplies from entering Gaza through Al-Arish.”
The official warned: “We alert about disease outbreaks due to blocked medicine and vaccines, with rising cases of diarrhea and meningitis. Ninety percent of people face water insecurity.”
The statement follows an Israeli regime military attack on Palestinian civilians seeking food aid at a U.S.-affiliated distribution center in al-Mawasi area south of Rafah, which killed at least 30 people and wounded dozens.
