Health ministry: Entire health services doomed to collapse due to siege

The health ministry in the PA caretaker government on Monday warned that the entire health services in the Gaza Strip are doomed to collapse due to the repeated power outages and lack of fuel to operate generators.
The ministry said in a press release that the health conditions in the Strip are heading towards a downward slope in the light of the endless Israeli aggressions and the strict blockade on the Strip that finished off the modest capabilities of the ministry.
It appealed to WHO along with legal and humanitarian organizations to pressure the Israeli occupation authority to end the problem and not just to limit it.
The ministry also asked the Arab and Islamic countries to end their silence towards the repeated Zionist attacks on the Palestinian people.
