Recently there was an attack on a refugee camp that left many dead
It wasn’t until late October that the refugee camp was the target of an attack that killed and injured dozens of people. The strike was criticized by many states: Spanish Foreign Minister Juan Manuel Albares said on Platform Irish Foreign Minister Michel Martin also condemned the attack. The UN human rights office did not rule out that these were “disproportionate attacks that could constitute war crimes.”
Meanwhile, it was reported on Wednesday evening that a convoy carrying medical supplies left Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Palestine Relief Agency (UNRWA), it is only the second delivery of life-saving aid to the hospital since the start of the Gaza war.
Situation in Al-Shifa Hospital “catastrophic”
However, the supply could not cover the enormous need: “The medical conditions in Al-Shifa – the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip and one of the oldest Palestinian health facilities – are catastrophic,” the organizations said in a statement. The facility is completely overcrowded and patients are suffering unnecessary pain due to lack of medication. Tens of thousands of displaced people are also said to be seeking shelter in hospital parking lots and courtyards.
