Child patients at fatal risk due to Israeli military siege in Gaza

Gaza, The Gulf Observer: The Israeli army is cordoning off the Al Rantisi and Al Nasr hospitals in central Gaza, the Palestinian Health Ministry in enclave said. Child patients are at fatal risk due to the Israeli military siege of the hospitals, ministry spokesman Ashraf Al Qudra said in a statement.

He added that medical staff and displaced people in the two hospitals are under a complete siege with no food and water.

Earlier on Friday, Palestinian Health Minister Mai Alkaila said 18 hospitals in Gaza ceased operation since the start of the Israeli onslaught in early October.
