Gaza's healthcare system is "taking its last breath amid Israeli massacres" and is due to totally collapse in a matter of hours, the Palestinian health ministry said on Sunday.
"The world will be horrified by what is about to happen in a couple hours," a spokesperson for the health ministry told Al Jazeera.
"We call on the world to take immediate action to open a safe humanitarian corridor to bring aid to hospitals," he said.
If aid and fuel don't enter in the next few hours, he added, then hospitals will collapse.
