Gaza’s Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra has denounced Israel for trying to “eliminate” the besieged enclave’s health sector, amid the ongoing attacks on hospitals, according to Al Jazeera.

“What the occupation is doing is part of the scenario that began in northern Gaza from the Shifa complex,” he said in a statement to AJ.

“Targeting Nasser medical complex is part of the occupation’s policy to eliminate the health sector and would bring down the health system in the southern Gaza Strip,” he added.
