Doctors of the World: health services seriously damaged by Israeli assault

Medical charity Doctors of the World, says Israeli military action is damaging the Palestinian healthcare system and restricting access to humanitarian aid. 

Health services have been seriously damaged by air strikes and have had to endure frequent power cuts, the charity said in a statement. 

“Most of the cases received are women and children,” says Dr Hosam Abu-Elwan, an emergency physician for Doctors of the World. “Some essential drugs are starting to dry up and no one knows how long our stock will last”.
