Today, Wednesday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip condemned the targeting of the Israeli occupation army to the “Al -Durra” for children in Al -Tafah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, stressing that the shelling caused great damage to the intensive care department and the alternative energy system inside the hospital.

The ministry indicated in a statement that the hospital is one of the few centers that receive critical cases of children in the city, and added: “The Israeli occupation was not satisfied with preventing the medicine and food from the children of Gaza, but rather in depriving them of their most basic rights, which is the right to life, through direct targeting of health institutions.”

The ministry’s spokesman, Dr. Ashraf Al -Qidra, explained that the raid targeted alternative solar panels on Tuesday evening, which is used as an essential source for the operation of sensitive medical equipment in light of the repeated interruption of the electrical current.
Al -Qudra added that the successive artillery shelling affected the intensive care unit in the hospital, which put the lives of patients directly.
The Ministry of Health has renewed its demand for international bodies and human rights organizations to “assume their moral and legal responsibilities and work to provide immediate and urgent protection for medical institutions in the Gaza Strip, and to criminalize Israeli practices against them as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.”
The targeting of Al -Durra Hospital comes in the context of the continuous Israeli aggression on the Strip for more than 18 months, during which the Israeli forces committed a collective annihilation against the residents of Gaza, causing more than 51 thousand martyrs and wounded, most of them women and children, as well as widespread destruction in health, educational and humanitarian infrastructure.
