Gaza Hospitals Run Out Of Beds Amid Stream Of Wounded From Israeli Bombings

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza warned Wednesday of a disruption to healthcare services across the Gaza Strip as hospitals don't have enough beds to accommodate the wounded from Israel's bombardments. "Hospitals have run out of bed capacity. The injured and ill people are on the floor as the Israeli aggression intensifies," the ministry said in a statement. It said the continued Israeli cutting of electricity, water and fuel "poses a danger to the lives of the injured and ill and will lead to a disastrous health and environmental catastrophe." "We hold the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the lives of the injured and ill, as it exhausted the health system and weakened its capacity," it added. The ministry warned that the health situation in Gaza "can't bear silence" and "there must be immediate action to secure a safe corridor for medical supplies." The announcement by Gaza health authorities comes amid the intensification of the Israeli bombing on Gaza which has left thousands in need of medical and healthcare services. (Video credit: Getty)
