‘Everyone has suffered enough’: ICRC
Time is running out for people in Gaza, and a deal has to be reached between Hamas and the Israeli military that will allow for humanitarian aid to be let in to the enclave, Hisham Mhanna, a spokesperson for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), has told Al Jazeera.
“Everyone has suffered enough, we have lost colleagues, we have lost friends, families; everyone in Gaza is impacted,” he said.
“We have 350 plus staff members in Gaza who are struggling on a daily basis to find enough food and clean water, so you cannot possibly imagine how civilians who are most vulnerable, who have been living in displacement for 22 months.
“I see no way that they can continue living like this and I can see no justification for this to continue any longer, not from any legal or moral perspective,” he added. “The agreement should include and guarantee that access is for every person who is in desperate need for food, for medical treatment and for [their] family to know that they are still alive.”
Stop talking about a deal, the genocide needs to be stopped. A deal won't be reached between Hamas and Netanyahu as the latter will keep putting up more red lines to prevent any deal.
Boycott Israel, USA, UK, arms embargo, sanctions and send in an international peace keeping force with a humanitarian fleet of ships carrying aid. It's the only way to stop this. You can't stop genocide with words.
Malnutrition, dehydration impede blood donations in Gaza
Blood donations are needed now, right now, across the remaining operational medical facilities in Gaza – al-Shifa Hospital, Al-Aqsa Hospital, and Nasser Hospital.
We read and hear doctors’ appeals for more blood because what is available is not sufficient to deal with the influx of injuries that keep pouring into these three major health facilities.
On a good day, they receive at least 150 to 200 injured patients who need blood supplies that are not available in this amount to save lives.
We’ve seen at the blood banks many people who were begging doctors to allow them to give blood donations to save their loved ones, but they had to be turned away because they were not fit to donate blood due to the enforced dehydration and starvation.
It was deemed by medical staff that they were too frail and weak, which could lead to medical complications if they gave blood or donated blood to other people.
Palestinian doctors face ‘untenable’ demands as starvation grips Gaza
Andee Clark Vaughan, an emergency nurse working in Gaza with the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association (Panzma), says Palestinian doctors are working under devastating circumstances in the enclave.
Not only do they have limited resources to treat their patients, but, like the general population in Gaza, many are also dealing with starvation and a lack of food to sustain themselves.
“All of the doctors here in Gaza are exhausted, and they’re malnourished because there is no food,” Clark Vaughan told Al Jazeera from Gaza City.
“A general surgeon will do up to seven, eight cases in a 12-to-24-hour period,” she said. “That’s exhausting for them, and it’s untenable.”
