The English section of webangah News Agency reported, citing Mehr News Agency and Shehab News Agency, that Palestinian sources have confirmed the death of another journalist in Gaza.
According to these sources, Ibrahim Hajjaj was killed during an Israeli airstrike targeting eastern gaza City.
Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza on October 7, 2023, at least 233 Palestinian journalists have been killed in attacks by the regime.
Meanwhile, the director general of shifa Medical Complex in Gaza Strip delivered a grim report stating that fatalities from Israel’s genocidal war have exceeded 60,000, with more than 165,000 wounded. He added that 147 people, including 88 children, have died from starvation so far - a number that continues to rise.
Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya warned that Gaza’s healthcare system is on the verge of complete collapse. Hospitals no longer have any empty beds and cannot admit new patients or injured individuals.
He emphasized that dozens of wounded people die daily due to shortages of medical equipment. “We face severe deficits in anesthesia drugs, sterile gas, IV fluids, and surgical supplies,” he said. “The health system has essentially fallen apart; death dominates-whether through bombings,starvation or illness.”
The medical director noted that most hospitals can no longer function properly and access to 65% of medicines has been lost. Under these circumstances, providing adequate care for patients has become extremely arduous.
Abu Salmiya also revealed that Israel enforces fuel rationing policies aimed at keeping hospitals on the brink of collapse without allowing real operational capacity. He described this as a intentional strategy for gradual destruction of healthcare facilities.
He warned ther is no alternative energy source beyond fuel for hospitals; cutting off supply would mean halting all surgical operations and intensive care services entirely.
