According to medical institutions in Gaza and international aid organizations, mass casualty incidents are occurring every day. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
These incidents are mainly happening due to targeting citizens who have gathered to receive food aid. Doctors in Gaza are receiving hundreds of injured patients every day.
Many are being brought to hospitals with various severe gunshot wounds, especially injuries to the chest and head areas. Some patients are arriving with amputated arms or legs.
According to Dr. Muhammad Saqr, the chief physician of the Nassar medical complex in Khan Yunis, in recent weeks they have had to receive between 100 and 150 injured or deceased individuals within half an hour. He described these situations as "scenes of Judgment Day," emphasizing that people are risking their lives just to obtain food.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has also reported a sharp increase in the number of mass injuries in Gaza. In a field hospital in Rafah, more than 2,200 injured individuals have been treated in one month, with over 200 of them having died.
Most of the injured are children, young people, mothers and children, and the elderly. They have mainly come to receive assistance for their families.
According to British doctor Claire Jeffries, the number of patients arriving at her hospital with gunshot wounds has increased. They are witnessing the events occurring around the aid centers.
However, the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation," supported by the US and Israel, denies such incidents and claims that no casualties or injuries have been recorded at their centers. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, from May 27 to July 2, 640 people have died, and more than 4,500 citizens have been injured.
95 percent of them were injured near the aid centers established by Americans. The medical infrastructure in Gaza is almost destroyed.
Half of the 36 hospitals are not operational, while the others are partially functioning. Hospitals are lacking doctors, lighting equipment, X-ray machines, scanners, and necessary surgical equipment.
Due to fuel shortages, there is a risk of electricity generators stopping, which could lead to a complete halt of medical services. Doctors at the UK-Med hospital have reported that painkillers, antibiotics, and anesthesia supplies are running low.
Since the war began, there have also been many casualties among medical staff in Gaza. According to the Ministry of Health, more than 1,580 medical workers have died.
In the last 50 days, renowned cardiologist Dr. Marwan al-Sultan, heads of children's hospitals, and Indonesian hospital nurses, along with many young doctors and nurses, have died. This situation highlights how dire the state of the healthcare system in Gaza is.
