“More healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza since October than were reported killed in all conflicts globally in 2021 and 2022 combined,” according to Medical Aid for Palestine.
Israeli forces killed three civil defense team members while they were at work in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza late on Thursday, Al-Jazeera’s Arabic channel has reported.
Meanwhile, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has said 18 of its ambulances have stopped operating due to a fuel shortage.
The organization stressed that it “has not received its daily share of gasoline from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) for approximately eight days.”
The PRCS appealed for urgent intervention to reopen the Rafah border crossing and allow the flow of humanitarian aid, especially fuel to prevent a collapse in the healthcare system.
500 Healthcare Workers Killed
According to Medical Aid for Palestine, 500 healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza since October, more than in all global conflicts in 2021 and 2022 combined.
Over 37,000 Killed
Gaza has suffered 37,765 deaths, 86,429 injuries, and many missing since Israel’s military assault began on October 7.
The majority of casualties are women and children, with severe hunger and displacement affecting the population.
