In terms of providing medical care and relief, the ministry announced that three hospitals are now completely out of service, while 25 others have suffered partial damage in the Gaza Strip, Roya News reports.
Earlier, Palestinian Health Minister Mai Alkaila warned of the imminent collapse of the healthcare system in Gaza due to the ongoing war, leading to more casualties and injuries.
She urged the international community to take immediate and concerted action to halt the aggression on the Strip.
The Israeli Occupation Forces continued their aggression on Gaza Thursday, carrying out airstrikes in various areas of the region.
The conflict in Gaza, under Israeli bombardment and blockade since Oct. 7, began when Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches and infiltration into Israel by land, sea, and air. It said the incursion was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and growing violence by Israeli settlers.
The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
Gaza is experiencing a dire humanitarian crisis with no electricity, while water, food, fuel, and medical supplies are running out.
At least 3,785 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.
A medical source has told Al Jazeera that 121 people have been killed and 540 injured in the Gaza Strip since yesterday evening.
The Israeli army says at least 306 of its soldiers have died since Hamas’s attack in Israel on October 7.
Overall, at least 1,403 Israelis have been killed since the war started and about 4,629 injured.
