Al-Qudra: Qatar is greatest supporter of health care in Gaza

Qatar is an important supporter of health services in the besieged Gaza Strip, Palestinian Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said.

He added: “We are confident that God, followed by Qatar, who has made clear contributions in various fields, including construction, services, relief, and medicine in Palestine, especially in Gaza, will support Gaza’s health sector.”

With regards to the health situation in the Gaza Strip after the intensified blockade on Gaza, Al-Qudra stated that the health sector is suffering from the blockade, noting that the closure of the crossings caused the increased suffering of patients and the shortage of basic medications and medical supplies.

Al-Qudra also noted that the national unity government has not fulfilled its responsibilities regarding the health sector or any other services level. “We are still demanding that the government fulfil its obligations and uphold its responsibilities,” adding that the power outage is still ongoing.

He stated that the during its wars on Gaza, the Zionist enemy used weapons that amputate limbs and dissolve tissue, explaining that the mechanism of healthcare is based on a contingency plan, which allows Gaza, with the help of God, to continue to provide health services to the people.
