Gaza City invasion would be a disaster for 1.2 million residents: Al-Shifa Hospital director
The director of al-Shifa Hospital, Mohammed Abu Salmiya, has spoken to Al Jazeera about the ongoing Israeli operations in Gaza City and their potential repercussions on the enclave. Here’s what he said:
- The hospital receives large numbers of wounded, starving and sick people and loses dozens of lives every day.
- Every day, a health system on the brink of collapse receives dozens of slain Palestinians and hundreds of wounded.
- The occupation’s threats to invade Gaza City will lead to massacres against the population.
- Any military operation would be disastrous for the 1.2 million Palestinians who live in Gaza City.
- Gaza’s medical workers hope the world’s conscience will awaken and will urge Israel to stop the genocide and starvation.
WHO chief ‘extremely relieved’ after release of staff member detained by Israel
The World Health Organization (WHO) says one of its Gaza staff members has been released more than four weeks after being detained by Israel. “Extremely relieved that our colleague, detained since 21 July in Gaza, was released this morning,” WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on X.
He repeated his call for the protection of all health and humanitarian workers.
In July, the agency said the Israeli military attacked its staff residence and main warehouse in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. At that time, two WHO staff members and two of their family members were detained. Three were later released while one remained in detention until today.
WHO has described Gaza’s health sector as “on its knees”, citing severe shortages of fuel, medical supplies and staff amid repeated mass casualty incidents.
