The Palestinian Authority’s Majed Abu Ramadan has said that responsibility for the dire state of Gaza Strip healthcare can be placed at the feet of Israel’s continued assault on the enclave, Al Jazeera reports.

Abu Ramadan also called for international intervention to save the health system in the Strip.

He added that the Palestinian Authority is working to send medical teams into Gaza to treat “difficult cases”, in light of Israel’s refusal to allow a “sufficient” number of wounded and ill Palestinians to leave the Strip for medical treatment.
