Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza: Over 580 martyrs & 4,000 injured among aid seekers
Gaza - Saba: Khalil Al-Daqran, spokesperson for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza, stated on Sunday that more than 580 Palestinian citizens were martyred and over 4,000 others were injured while attempting to reach aid distribution points. He described the new aid distribution mechanism as having caused a major crisis, exacerbating the suffering of civilians. According to the Quds Press Agency, Al-Daqran warned of the worsening humanitarian and medical situation in the Gaza Strip amid the ongoing Zionist aggression and the lack of sufficient international support. Al-Daqran emphasized that the healthcare system is on the verge of complete collapse due to the rising numbers of martyrs and wounded. He noted that the increasing number of injured is placing immense pressure on health facilities, which are no longer able to accommodate such a large volume of cases, given the severe shortage of medicines and medical supplies. He further stressed that "the healthcare system in Gaza is almost entirely collapsed." Al-Daqran added that humanitarian conditions are deteriorating dangerously, with displacement centers lacking any aid, while the enemy continues to target shelters and food distribution centers, worsening the widespread malnutrition across all provinces of the Strip. He warned of the rampant spread of diseases, pointing out that the health sector has recorded over 400 cases of meningitis since the beginning of the year, alongside rising infection and disease rates among children, amid the absence of even the most basic healthcare necessities. Since October 7, 2023, the enemy forces, with absolute American support, have continued to commit genocidal crimes in Gaza, resulting in over 189,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded—most of them children and women—along with more than 11,000 missing persons and hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals.

CAIRO – 26 May 2025: 30 people including women and Children were killed, Monday morning in Gaza due to an Israeli bombing to a school housing a large number of displaced persons, according to spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health Khalil Al-Daqran. He added that dozens of other civilians are suffering critical injuries, describing the health and humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as 'catastrophic' due to the continuing military escalations. In a phone call with Extra News channel, the spokesperson indicated that the intense shelling around the school charred the bodies and turned the area into rubble and scattered body parts. He explained that hospitals, most notably the Baptist Hospital and Al-Shifa Hospital, received the bodies of the martyrs and the injured under extremely difficult operating conditions, as these hospitals are only partially operational due to the situation. Al-Daqran explained that more than 50 injured children, women, and elderly were transferred to hospitals suffering from critical head and chest injuries, as well as second- and third-degree burns. He noted that the Israeli occupying forces used internationally prohibited weapons during the attack, in clear violation of international humanitarian law.

Gaza enters 5th stage of famine, 60,000 children at risk of death, Palestinian Ministry of Health
CAIRO- 15 May 2025 : Spokesman for the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Dr. Khalil Al-Daqran, said that the Israeli occupation army has committed complete massacres by directly targeting medical facilities and humanitarian personnel. He noted that more than 1,800 health workers have been killed, more than 600 arrested, and over 3,000 injured. He emphasized that these actions constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. He pointed out that the continued closure of crossings and the denial of the entry of supplies prevents the provision of any type of healthcare. He explained that Gaza Strip has entered the fifth stage of famine, which is a very dangerous stage, explaining that 60,000 children are at risk of death due to malnutrition, and that more than 650,000 children are at risk of contracting diseases such as polio due to the denial of access to vaccinations. He stated that 17,000 children have been killed since the beginning of the aggression using bombs and missiles, and that they are now also being targeted with a policy of starvation. He noted that more than 300,000 patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease suffer from a lack of medication, which has led to high mortality rates among them.

Gaza Health: 200,000 Chronic Patients at Risk of Death
Gaza - Saba: Khalil Al-Daqran, the spokesperson for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza, warned that 200,000 people with chronic diseases are at risk of death due to the continued closure of the crossings by the occupation, which threatens to shut down hospitals. In press statements on Friday, Al-Daqran explained that the Zionist enemy is systematically targeting the health system in the Gaza Strip, pointing to a fierce attack on children, either by directly targeting them or by withholding their access to medication. Midway through this week, Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, the director of field hospitals in the Gaza Strip, indicated that hospitals in Gaza are completely lacking medicines and medical supplies, at a time when the enemy forces have been preventing the entry of any type of treatment or medical supplies for more than 50 days. This has led to the complete depletion of the Palestinian Ministry of Health's stock, he said. Al-Hamas added that hospitals are no longer able to accommodate more wounded and injured people due to the ongoing airstrikes and heavy shelling. He noted that reception and intensive care units are completely full, forcing medical staff to resort to a system of preference in providing treatment. Al-Hamas revealed that more than 11,000 patients and wounded registered with the World Health Organization are at risk of death due to being prevented from traveling abroad for treatment. These patients include patients with chronic and serious illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and blood diseases. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
