DaysofPal—The Ministry of Health in Gaza has warned of a rapidly escalating humanitarian disaster, reporting alarming figures of deaths caused by both Israeli bombardment and famine.
Officials confirm that the health system is on the brink of total collapse.
Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, stated that the enclave is experiencing the most dangerous stage of famine to date, noting that “many people are collapsing in the streets due to extreme hunger and severe weakness.” He added that 20 people have died from starvation in just the past 48 hours.
Al-Bursh explained that Gaza’s hospitals have been receiving an average of 100 martyrs daily for over three months, all killed by direct Israeli strikes. He further revealed that Israeli forces are killing an average of 28 children every day, highlighting a continued and deliberate targeting of civilians.
The health official also warned of a major medical catastrophe unfolding in the strip, with the emergence of new diseases linked to malnutrition and contaminated water.
Among the most concerning developments is the rising number of children diagnosed with the rare autoimmune disorder Guillain-Barré Syndrome. At the same time, Gaza’s medical facilities remain unable to provide treatment due to severe shortages in medication and medical supplies.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) expressed deep concern over the worsening hunger crisis in Gaza, stating that people are now “dying from hunger” and that child malnutrition has reached catastrophic levels.
The agency also warned that both food and access to clean water are critically below emergency thresholds.
The Ministry of Health has called on the international community and humanitarian organizations to take immediate action to stop the massacres and lift the siege, warning that continued global silence is only worsening the tragedy and increasing the death toll by the day.
