Hamas official Bassem Neim said Gaza's health ministry will declare an emergency tomorrow and suspend vital health services due to the ongoing siege on the sector's healthcare system, Shehab Wire reported. Neim, a member of Hamas's political bureau, attributed the move to the continuation of the blockade affecting Gaza's medical facilities.
The announcement signals a deepening crisis in Gaza's healthcare capacity as the territory faces sustained restrictions on its health sector.
