Nearly 2,000 medical workers could not break the fast due to lack of food in Gaza, the besieged and war-torn territory of Palestine. They work in different hospitals in northern Gaza. Ashraf Al-Qudra,
Spokesman for the Gaza Ministry of Health, gave this information in a statement on Tuesday (March 12).
It is said that Monday was the first day of fasting in Gaza. In this war-torn region, millions of people are fasting amid the war. A part of them were those 2 thousand medical workers. But they did not get any food at the time of iftar at the end of the day in their tired bodies.
Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a statement that about 2,000 medical workers are starving, “The medical workers in the northern part of the Gaza Strip are standing on the brink of starvation.” At this time, he urged the international relief organizations to ensure relief for the medical workers in Gaza as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, more than 31,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli attack on Gaza since October 7. More than 70 percent of whom are children and women. In addition, at least 72,700 Palestinians were injured in Israeli attacks at the same time. Thousands more are missing.
Meanwhile, King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia called on the international community to stop the “brutal crimes” that Israel is committing in the Palestinian territory of Gaza and to “provide a safe humanitarian corridor”. He made this call in a written statement last Sunday.
King Salman bin Abdulaziz said in his speech, “It is painful for us that the month of Ramadan has come this year when our brothers in Palestine are being attacked.”
Earlier, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sent a message of solidarity with the people of Gaza just before the start of Ramadan. In the message, he said, ‘I express my solidarity and support to all those who are in dire straits in Gaza. Ramadan will show us the light of hope in this difficult time.
