The Health Ministry in Gaza says that medical teams have examined cases resulting from Israel’s use of internationally prohibited non-conventional weapons during the ongoing war against the besieged Palestinian territory.
“The health system in the Gaza Strip is constantly collapsing in light of the ongoing bombing and the absence of medical aid,” Ashraf al-Qudra, the spokesman for the ministry said on Wednesday.
Elsewhere in his remarks, al-Qudra added that the Israeli forces had sentenced 800,000 people to death in northern Gaza as a result of the catastrophic healthcare system in hospitals.
The United States has been slammed over its supply of internationally-banned munitions, like white phosphorus bombs, to Israel to be used against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The weapons are part of billions of dollars in annual US military assistance to Israel.
In late November, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), the 120-member international organization, in a statement, expressed deep concern about the use of prohibited weapons by the Israeli military, including bombs containing white phosphorous, in Gaza and southern Lebanon.
It also warned about the possibility of Israel’s employment of nerve agents and other toxic substances in attacks on besieged Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
NAM also threw weight behind the Palestinian Authority’s request to launch a probe into the possible use of chemical weapons by the occupying regime.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the coastal territory, including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, since Palestinian resistance movements launched their surprise attack, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, against the regime on October 7.
More than three months into the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the regime continues with its carpet-bombing campaign across the besieged territory.
Nearly 150 Palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours. Israel has bombed different areas of Gaza, including the southern city of Khan Yunis which hosts thousands of displaced Palestinians.
Several were injured at a UN-run school when Israeli drones opened live fire on Palestinians taking shelter there.
The city’s Nasser hospital and its vicinity have also come under heavy Israeli fire.
To central Gaza, Israeli warplanes shelled civilian areas near al-Maghazi and Nusairat refugee camps.
In the North, residential areas in Deir-Al-Balah and Jabalia were pounded. The overall death toll from the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza has now reached 23,360, mostly women and children.
