GAZA, (PIC)-- MP Jamal Al-Khudari, the head of the popular anti siege committee, has warned that the humanitarian suffering in the Gaza Strip had reached an unprecedented level due to the Israeli siege and continued closure of crossings.

Khudari, in a statement on Wednesday, called on the Arab and Islamic countries and the international community to immediately act to save the besieged Palestinians in Gaza, who are the target of the most dangerous siege that affected their humanitarian, health, environmental and economic conditions.

The MP said that crises are daily escalating in the Strip especially the electricity generation plant which has stopped functioning for two weeks plunging 80% of Strip areas in complete darkness.

He noted that 80% of Gaza bakeries were out of work due to the lack of wheat and cooking gas, which is needed to operate those bakeries.

UNRWA stopped extending aid to 750,000 refugees in the Strip as a result of the closure of all crossings and the Israeli ban on entry of relief material and wheat, Khudari pointed out.

He said that shortages reached basic food articles such as wheat, rice, oil and sugar, and stressed that the Israeli practice is turning from collective punishment to genocide.

Gaza hospitals cut corners in last-ditch effort to provide some care
Date: 26 / 12 / 2008 Time: 13:39

Gaza – Ma’an – Gaza hospitals are cutting all unnecessary surgeries and eliminating overnight stays in an effort to conserve medical supplies in view of the fact that almost none have been allowed into the Strip for 50 days.

During a press conference De facto Minister of Health Bassam Na’aeem called for the Islamic and Arab countries to implement all of the decisions related to breaking the Gaza siege and to quickly deliver the Humanitarian aid including food and medications through Rafah crossing.

Gaza Strip hospitals are in crisis mode. Medical supplies for cancer and dialysis patients are so low that only some cases can be treated. Doctors are forced to deny treatment to patients who would likely survive with proper medical attention.

The hospitals are also running out of basic operating supplies and sterile equipment. More than half of the Strip’s ambulances have been taken out of service because their electrical equipment cannot be recharged due to the power cuts in the area.

Hasanin added that there 15 victims who could not be identified because their bodies were badly mutilated, adding that at 80 of the victims were mutilated.

He said that the rapid rise in the death toll was due to the recovery of new victims from under the rubbles and the continuing Israeli air strikes which have not stopped until the early hours of Sunday.
