More than 990 Palestinian medics have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip since Oct 7, Palestinian Health Minister Majid Abu Ramadan said, Anadolu reports.
Abu Ramadan said in a statement that more than 300 health care workers have been arrested, and hospitals destroyed or rendered inoperable in strikes.
He said the Israeli bombardment has forced 130 ambulances out of service.
Five Health Ministry personnel were killed early Saturday in an attack on the agency’s storage facilities in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
Abu Ramadan described the bombing of health care personnel and facilities as part of “a broader pattern of violence by the occupation.”
