WHO’s online platform covering attacks on healthcare indicated 304 attacks in the Gaza Strip since 7 October.
The attacks affected 94 health care facilities (including 26 hospitals damaged out of 36) and 79 ambulances.

@EasterIssland great to see, especially because there is a dire need after the killing of many health care workers,

PRCS provided medical services to 4,800 patients in the southern Gaza Strip

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has provided medical services to 4,800 patients and injured individuals in the southern Gaza Strip, it said.

The national humanitarian organisation is providing medical services to patients and displaced individuals in its Al-Mawasi clinic in Rafah and in two mobile clinics in Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis, reaching those unable to access hospitals.

The vaccines [above] were provided by the World Bank and UNICEF and are slowly beginning to make their way into Gaza

Information from Al Asqa is a bit patchy - full scale battle raging on their doorstep and another telecom blackout

Possibly some electricity from solar panels keeping oxygen flowing and ?ventilators functioning - prem babies [?at least12] are being bundled up in blankets to keep them warm. Pics of hospital in total darkness last night and staff using smartphone flashlights

Not a sustainable way to run a hospital for any length of time

A little bit of good news - the Head of the PRCS centre in Khan Younis who was arrested 51 days ago whilst on the road evacuating Al Shifa was released today - no other details given

@Parkingt111 even UK Foreign Office was tweeting about lack of food/starvation in n gaza today

Parkingt111 · 12/01/2024 19:34

The PRCS also tweeted this awhile ago

For the past three hours, communication has been completely cut off with our teams operating in the #Gaza Strip due to the Israeli occupation cutting communication and internet services. 📍This disruption increases the challenges facing the PRCS's emergency services 🚑 in reaching the wounded and injured promptly.

I read yesterday that the WHO said they had not been given assurances by the IDF for a safe passage to deliver aid and that they have had to abort their delivery 5 times now
This was to the north

Parkingt111 · 12/01/2024 19:27

That's terrible 😭 oh those poor babies, I really hope they are safely evacuated

Al Asqa has run out of fuel - lack of electricity means that incubators and ventilators can't function putting prem babies and adult ICU patients in great peril - again

Fuel was supposed to be delivered yesterday lunchtime but did not arrive

Hopefully they will be evacuated

It’s horrible, relentless. I have nothing particularly useful to add. Leave the bloody hospitals alone.

Surgeon says Al-Aqsa Hospital will likely become ‘completely disabled’

A British surgeon says that conditions for medical workers in Gaza are becoming unbearable, with Israel’s assault rendering facilities unusable.

“We saw the beginnings of the dismantlement of Al-Aqsa Hospital last week. My last day operating in Al-Aqsa was Friday, and having spent all day operating on a blast trauma victim, I came out of the operating theatre to hear that there had been a missile attack on the ICU,” Nick Maynard, who was working in Gaza for Medical Aid for Palestine, told Al Jazeera. “So, we were already seeing staff leaving, and progressively more staff left after that.”

“I think it’s looking extremely likely that Al-Aqsa will become completely disabled as a healthcare facility,” he added.

@Tripper79 there was also a airstrike on a home opposite Al Aqsa hospital
That's also why there was a huge amount of injuries and casualties

Sadly a MSF Doctors 5 year old daughter passed away after being injured from a strike in Gaza 💔
There are no safe places in Gaza, not even for children or babies.

Update: The five-year-old daughter of our staff member underwent surgery at the Gaza European Hospital but died of her injuries today.

We're outraged and condemn yesterday's strike on an MSF shelter that killed a child and injured 3 others.

I saw this. So awful. I saw on Motaz’s stories today about the ambulance being hit; many of his stories are hidden behind that graphic image screen. I couldn’t bring myself to click on them.

Parkingt111 · 10/01/2024 15:39

@Efacsen thank you

I have just seen the PRCS post that four members of their ambulance crew have been killed after a PRCS ambulance was targeted with a strike

@Parkingt111 that poor little girl and her family

WRT what's happening at Al Asqa - its a bit confusing
Still lots of injured people going there
70 'volunteers' helping in the absence of medical staff
IDF humanitarian pause yesterday so ?re-supplied
Video of the ER yesterday eve - people cleaning floors not massively overcrowded

A whole 16 storey tower block was destroyed in Khan Younis
I'm trying to think which hospitals that are still functioning that the injured would have been taken to

@Efacsen thanks for that
Have you seen any further updates for Al Aqsa hospital?
BBC verify has shown parts of Gaza which had residential buildings that have been flattened in the last few days
No wonder the dead and injured total has been so high
