Twenty-two hospitals out of 38 are out of service in Gaza, the Health Ministry has said, while those that continue to operate are facing a “catastrophic” shortage of medical supplies.
Here are some figures the ministry provided in a statement:
Forty-seven percent of the essential medicine list has been depleted, as well as 65 percent of the medical consumables list.
Only 30 primary care centres are currently operating out of 105.
Fifty operating rooms are currently working, albeit in dire conditions, out of 104.
Twenty-five oxygen stations out of a total of 34 have been destroyed, leaving only 9 partly operational.
Seven MRI machines were destroyed, leaving the Gaza Strip without diagnostic MRI equipment.
Forty-nine of 110 generators are operating in the Gaza Strip’s hospitals, and they urgently need maintenance and fuel supplies.
