The Palestinian health ministry has released a statement responding to what it says is an Israeli push to transfer health system resources to the south of the enclave, Al Jazeera reports.
“The Ministry of Health expresses its rejection of any step that would undermine what remains of the health system following the systematic destruction carried out by the Israeli occupation authorities,” it said.
“This step would deprive more than one million people of their right to treatment and put the lives of residents, patients and the wounded at imminent risk.”
