NEW YORK, Jan 8 (Bernama-WAFA) -- The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Wednesday that “hospitals in Gaza have become death traps.”
In a post on X, the agency explained that families in “Gaza are torn apart, children are freezing to death and starvation is cutting lives short”, Palestine News and Information Agency (WAFA) reported.
The agency called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
UNRWA's statements come in light of the ongoing bombing and direct targeting of hospitals, as the three public hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip—Kamal Adwan, Beit Hanoun, and the Indonesian Hospital—have become out of service due to the escalation of the occupation's aggression.
Only 14 hospitals out of 36 in Gaza are now partially operating and are facing a severe shortage of supplies, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
