UN experts say Gaza health care at “breaking point”
Picture
UN human rights experts have called for a large-scale international response to the overwhelming health care needs of people living in the besieged Gaza Strip, warning that the health sector there has almost collapsed.

This came in a report written recently by Michael Lynk, the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, and Dainius Puras, the special rapporteur on the right to health.

The report reminded Israel, as the occupying power, of its obligations towards the population of Gaza and asked it to facilitate their access to health care.

According to their report,  the health care in Gaza – already precarious in the wake of an 11-year blockade by Israel and periods of non-cooperation by the Palestinian Authority – has been further impacted by the high rate of casualties from Israeli military fire on Gazan protesters since late March.

“We are deeply worried by credible reports that treating, and caring for, the thousands of Gazans wounded by Israeli military fire over the past 12 weeks has strained Gaza’s already overloaded health care system to the breaking point,” the experts said.

According to statistics by the Palestinian health ministry, the report says, almost 8,000 Gazan protesters have been admitted to hospital recently, with more than 3,900 wounded by live ammunition. Many have sustained permanent injuries, including limb amputations.

“It is unacceptable that many of those requiring care, which is not currently available in Gaza, have been denied exit permits to access healthcare outside of Gaza,” the experts said.

Out of the 93 applications submitted by Gazans to the Israeli authorities to access health care in the West Bank, including east Jerusalem, only 24 were approved. 49 were denied and 20 are still pending. “Denial of access to urgent health care to seriously wounded Gazans outside the Strip is a violation of the right to health,” the experts stated.

According to the experts, many hospital patients in Gaza have been discharged prematurely to allow for new casualties to be treated. About 6,000 elective surgeries have been postponed. Essential medicines and specialized surgical care are running short, and long-term rehabilitation services are being severely strained by the many Gazans with limb amputations and serious injuries. The disabling impact on the injured and the financial burden on them, their families and the Gaza health services is huge.

While international fund-raising has gathered more than $US6 million to meet some of the immediate needs, almost $US13 million still needs to be raised, the experts said.

The funds are required to deploy emergency medical teams, to ensure pre-hospital care by trauma teams, to purchase much-needed medicines and to enhance the rehabilitative services for post-operative casualties.

“This sum is a fraction of the more than $500 million requested to meet the humanitarian needs of Gaza and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory,” the experts said. “We urge the world to be generous.”

The UN experts lauded the response by international and local health NGOs and UN agencies to the crisis in Gaza. They pointed to the work of these organizations to provide the timely delivery of health care teams, medicines, health supplies and assistive devices.

“Gaza is suffering from a long-term health crisis. The Israeli blockade, three devastating wars, a harmful split in Palestinian unity and poorly paid health workers has meant that the availability of medical services and hospitals beds are seriously inadequate to service the many health needs of the two million Gazans. A meager electrical power supply, a badly-depleted water aquifer, the inability to treat sewage and the world’s highest unemployment rates have only intensified the social-health crisis.”

“We endorse the call of the UN secretary-general for Israel to end its unlawful blockade and to be an active partner to enabling Gaza to rebuild its economy and resuscitate its health care sector,” the human rights experts said. “The short-term responses to Gaza’s current health crisis must go hand-in-hand with decisive steps to change Gaza’s future for the better.

“In addition to its obligations under International Humanitarian Law as the occupying power, Israel has the obligation to respect and ensure the respect of the human rights of the people in Gaza, including their right to health. The Palestinian authorities also bear human rights obligations towards the population of Gaza.”

35 Palestinians injured in ongoing rallies in Gaza Strip
Picture
At least 35 Palestinians were injured on Friday after Israeli soldiers opened fire at thousands of Palestinians who gathered near the Gaza-Israel border fence to demand return to their homes in historical Palestine.

“35 demonstrators suffered live shot injuries and temporary asphyxia from teargas,” Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement.

Earlier Friday, thousands of demonstrators began congregating at makeshift camps established along the security fence to take part in ongoing rallies against Israel’s decades-long occupation.

Since Mar. 30, when Palestinians began staging mass rallies near the security fence, more than 125 protesters have been martyred and hundreds more injured by Israeli army gunfire.

Fires broke out on Friday morning east of Nahal Oz military site allegedly after an incendiary balloon was flown from Gaza.

Hebrew-speaking sources said firefighting crews operated in the morning to put out the flames in Moshav agricultural lands, east of Nahal Oz.

Over recent days, fires broke out after incendiary balloons and kites have been fired from Gaza toward Israeli settlement communities east of the border fence.

For the second time in the day, Israeli occupation forces’ (IOF) drones on Thursday fired at least one missile targeting incendiary balloons' launchers east of Rafah city in the besieged Gaza Strip, with no injuries reported.

Palestinian shot in Gaza protest succumbs to his wounds

Mohamed Abu Farhana, 23

A Palestinian young man shot by Israeli soldiers during Gaza border protests on 14 May has died from his wounds.

Local sources affirmed that Mohamed Abu Farhana, 23, was shot in by Israeli fire in one of the protests in the besieged protests during the past weeks and was admitted to Mar Youssef Hospital in occupied Jerusalem where he succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday.

Over 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the beginning of Great March of Return protests in late March.

Palestinians are calling to return to the homes their families were forced from in 1948 during the war surrounding the creation of Israel and for an end to the decade-long crippling blockade of the Palestinian enclave.

Following the massacre, the UN General Assembly adopted by a strong majority an Arab-backed resolution condemning Israel for the killing of protesters.

The resolution condemned Israel’s use of “excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate force” against Palestinian civilians and called for protection measures for Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Israeli drones on Wednesday afternoon attacked a group of Palestinian youths who were flying fire kites east of al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

The PIC reporter said that at least one missile was fired toward the kite flyers with no casualties reported.

Several Israeli airstrikes hit the Gaza Strip on Tuesday night during which three Palestinians were injured. The Palestinian resistance factions responded by firing rockets and mortar shells toward Israeli settlements adjacent to the coastal enclave.

Guterres: Situation in Gaza close to brink of war
Picture
UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday warned of an imminent war between Israel and the Palestinians in case the current humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, which has been under Israeli blockade for 12 years now, remains as it is.

This came in Guterres' first report to the Security Council on Resolution 2334 which was issued on 23rd December 2016.

Resolution 2334 calls for an immediate halt to the settlement construction in the occupied Palestinian territories, including Jerusalem, and confirms that Israel's settlement activities are illegal and blatantly violate international law.

The UN chief said in the report that he is shocked by the Israeli occupation forces' use of lethal force since border protests began in Gaza on 30th March.

He stressed that Israel has a responsibility to exercise maximum restraint and not to use live fire except as a last resort in the event of a real threat.

At least 136 Palestinians have been killed and over 13,000 injured by Israeli gunfire during peaceful protests along Gaza's eastern border in demand of the Palestinian refugees' right of return to their lands from which they were expelled in the 1948 war.

He renewed his call for a transparent and independent investigation into the killing of unarmed civilians in Gaza's border protests.

Guterres in his report warned that Israel's settlement activities continue unabated and undermine the hopes and the practical prospects for establishing a viable Palestinian state.

Palestinian medical sources have reported that a child died, Monday, from serious wounds h suffered after Israeli soldiers shot him several days earlier in Gaza.

The child, Zakariya Hussein Bashbash, 13, suffered a very serious injury, several days ago, after an Israeli soldier stationed across the border fence shot him with a live round.

The Health Ministry in Gaza said Zakariya, who was shot east of the al-Boreij refugee camp in central Gaza, was rushed to the Shifa Medical Center.

Zakariya, from the al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, was then moved to surgery, and remained at the Intensive Care Unit, until he succumbed to his serious wounds.

Palestinian child dies of his wounds in March of return events

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced on Monday the death of a 13-year-old child, Zakariya Beshbesh, of his wounds after being shot by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in the events of the Great March of Return east of al-Buraij in central Gaza Strip.

The spokesman of the ministry, Ashraf al-Qudra, said that the slain child was receiving treatment in the intensive care unit at al-Shefa Hospital after his serious injury.

The martyrdom of Child Beshbesh brought the number of the martyrs of the Great March of Return to 136 including 7 martyrs whose bodies are still detained by the IOF. However, the injuries have jumped to 13,000 Palestinians.

5 Gazans injured during alleged attempt to cross border barrier
Picture
Five Palestinian youths were injured on Thursday afternoon during an alleged attempt to damage what the Israeli army called security infrastructure near the Gaza border, Israeli sources claimed.

Israeli army said in a statement that five Palestinians were injured at the border fence after they allegedly “tried to sabotage security infrastructure in the area near the barrier north of Gaza Strip.

The security infrastructure exploded and as a result.”

The Palestinian Health Ministry earlier said 24-year-old Sabri Abu Khader was killed after being shot by Israeli gunfire near the border fence.

The IOF soldiers at the border on a daily basis attack the Palestinians protesting peacefully in the Great March of Return along the borderline with live ammunition and explosive bullets.

Israeli warplanes attack three Gaza sites
Picture
Israeli warplanes at dawn Monday launched airstrikes on three resistance sites in the Gaza Strip.

The PIC reporter said that at least 9 missiles were fired at three different sites in Gaza. The bombing, which coincided with dawn prayer, caused severe damages in the targeted sites and their surroundings.

Local sources said that rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip by Palestinian resistance factions in response to the Israeli attacks. Sirens were reportedly heard in Israeli settlements adjacent to the coastal enclave.

Israeli drones on Sunday fired a missile at a group of Palestinian youths who were flying fire kites and balloons toward Israeli settlements near the Gaza border.

Another airstrike was launched on a Palestinian resistance site east of al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip with no casualties reported.

These Israeli attacks are a new violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and the resistance factions which was reactivated in May under Egyptian auspices.

Israeli Soldiers Kill One Palestinian In Gaza

Israeli soldiers shot, on Monday at noon, a young Palestinian man near the Great Return Camp, east of Gaza city, causing a serious injury.

Medical sources in Gaza said the Palestinian was rushed to the Shifa Medical Center, in Gaza city, before he was admitted to surgery, after suffering severe wounds.

The young man, identified as Sabri Ahmad Abu Khader, 24, was shot after the soldiers fired live rounds targeting protesters, east of Gaza city. video

ٍٍSabri was a newlywed young man, who got married only five months ago.  He was shot near Karni Crossing, east of Gaza city.

Israeli sources said some protesters continued to launch burning kites across the border fence, causing a new fire near Kissufim military base, in southern Gaza.

In related news, the Israeli army claimed that its soldiers observed two Palestinians, “who tried to breach the border fence,” and added that they carried explosives, which detonated while they were running back to Gaza, apparently wounding them.

Israeli Air Force Fires Missiles Into Two Areas In Gaza
Picture
The Israeli Air Force fired, on Monday at dawn, several missiles into sites, believed to be run by the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, causing damage.

The first strike targeted the “Bader” center, and the second strike targeted the Safina site, west of Gaza city; both were struck with around three missiles each. video

Media sources in Gaza said the sounds and impacts of the explosion could be heard and felt across the entire area and led to property damage.

Meanwhile, Israeli sources said Palestinian fighters reportedly fired three shells from Gaza and landed in open areas.

The Israeli escalation is the fourth against the coastal region in 24 hours, after the army fired missiles at what it called “Palestinians launching burning balloons,” while sources in Gaza said another site of al-Qassam Brigades was targeted, east of the al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza.

On Sunday at dawn, an Israeli military drone fired a missile at a Palestinian car which was parked near a mosque, east of Gaza City.

On Saturday evening, two Palestinians were injured after an Israeli military drone fired a missile at Palestinians allegedly flying burning kites in central Gaza.

The Israeli military, its government and affiliated “media” outlets, have been reporting on the “incendiary kites,” as the cause for the ongoing escalation in Gaza.

They even engaged in smear campaigns against Palestinians slain by Israeli snipers, including the medic, Razan Najjar, by alleging she was a “human shield for Hamas.”

In an interview shortly before Razan was murdered by an Israeli sniper, she said what she does as a medic, the help that she gives to wounded Palestinians is meant to help the people and ease their suffering, and added that the “medics are the shield of the people.”

The statement, as simple and clear it was, was abused and misused to justify her murder by an army sniper, stationed safely hundreds of meters away.

She was the second medic to be killed by the army since March 30th, 2018, after the soldiers killed, Mousa Jaber Abu Hassanein, 36.

The army also injured 223 medics, and caused damage to 37 ambulances.

In addition, the soldiers killed two journalists, identified as Yasser Mortaja, 31, and Ahmad Abu Hussein, 25, and wounded 144 others.

On June 14th, a Palestinian identified as Ahmad Ziad Tawfiq al-‘Aassi, 21, died of wounds inflicted several days earlier by an Israeli gas bomb which struck him directly in his head, causing very serious wounds.

His death brings the number of Palestinians, who were killed by Israeli army fire since March 30th, to 126, including two journalists and thirteen children
The army also injured 13672 others, including hundreds of suffered serious wounds, mainly after being shot with expanding bullets.
