Mohammed Abu Salima, director of Shifa Hospital in Gaza, announced that doctors are conducting surgeries without anesthesia for those injured in the Israeli bombing of the Baptist Hospital, confirming that the Ministry of Health in Gaza is implementing a principle of prioritization in treatment, and surgeries are being performed without anesthesia in an effort to save what can be saved following the massacre at the Baptist Hospital.
Palestinian Minister of Health Dr. Mai al-Kaila stated that Israel bombed hospitals and killed patients in the bloodiest massacre against the Palestinian people. For the first time in history, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip held a press conference on Tuesday night amidst the victims of the massacre at the Baptist Hospital, which was perpetrated by the Israeli army and claimed the lives of more than 500 people.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza appealed to the international community to intervene and stop the Israeli occupation and the bombing of the Gaza Strip. The Ministry announced that the number of casualties from the Israeli bombing targeting the area of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza has risen to 500 martyrs, most of whom are women and children. The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health indicated that they are unable to meet the needs and that "the massacre is immense," emphasizing that there is no safe place in the Strip from the random Israeli bombing.
