Hospitals in the besieged Gaza Strip have lost 75 percent of their capacity amid Israel’s devastating war, according to the director of hospitals at the enclave’s Ministry of Health.

Meanwhile, the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) has warned that “50,000 pregnant women are in danger,” with 4,000 deliveries expected in the next month alone.

Hospitals Director Marwan Al-Hams said the majority of hospitals in Gaza are now out of service, with only five still operating but at a limited capacity, the Middle East Monitor reported.

He explained that doctors are operating despite a severe shortage of medicines that prevents them from treating thousands of patients.

Al-Hams described the health situation in Gaza as catastrophic due to the severe shortage in all surgical departments, causing many of them to stop operating.

For his part, director of the Government Media Office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, said Israel has left 34 hospitals inoperable, said MEMO.
