Only six ambulances are left functioning in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian health ministry said on Saturday.
According to the government media office in Gaza, at least 121 ambulances have been destroyed by Israeli forces since the bombing started on 7 October.
Palestinian officials say the attacks are part of what they describe as Israel's deliberate targeting of health facilities and civil services.
"The occupation is still targeting health personnel through bombings and arrests," the health ministry said in a statement.
It also renewed calls for the international community to allow the entry of medical personnel into the Gaza Strip to offer assistance.
