The PA health ministry of premier Ismael Haneyya has called on Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip to immediately go to blood donation centers, disclosing that blood bags became rare.
Raed Al-Arini, the spokesman of the Gaza-based Al-Shifa hospital, asserted that all hospitals of the Gaza Strip were suffering of low quantities of blood, adding that the increasing number of the Palestinian citizens wounded with IOF bullets contributed to that unjustified result. In a press statement he issued on Saturday, Arini warned, "the catastrophe [in Gaza Strip] is snowballing due to the sharp shortage of fuel supplies to Gaza Strip, warning that if the Israeli occupation government decided to stop electricity supplies, then, he explained, the crises will aggravate further. The hermitic Israeli blockade on the tiny Gaza Strip had slowly killed more 127 sick Palestinian citizens suffering different kinds of chronic diseases. HEYET Net- PIC
