A child is killed on average every 10 minutes in the Gaza Strip, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the United Nations Security Council on Saturday, warning: “Nowhere and no one is safe.”

He said that half of Gaza’s 36 hospitals and two-thirds of its primary healthcare centres were not functioning, and those that were operating were way beyond their capacities, describing the healthcare system as being “on its knees.”

“Hospital corridors are crammed with the injured, the sick, and the dying. Morgues overflowing. Surgery without anesthesia. Tens of thousands of displaced people are sheltering at hospitals,” Tedros told the 15-member council, according to Reuters.

Nazi Gestapo has vowed to wipe out Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, after an Oct. 7 attack in southern in which it claims Hamas armed men killed around 1,200 ( Zionist media said in the binging 1,600 ?) people and took more than 240 ( Zionist media said 200 ?) hostages. Nazi army has struck Gaza – an enclave of 2.3 million people – from the air, imposed a siege and launched a ground invasion.

“On average, a child is killed every 10 minutes in Gaza,” Tedros said.

Since Oct. 7, the WHO has verified more than 250 attacks on healthcare in Gaza and the West Bank, while there had been 25 attacks on healthcare by Israel, Tedros said. 

For its part, UNICEF said that near total breakdown and attacks on medical and healthcare services across Gaza, in particular the northern areas, threaten the lives of every child in the Strip. 

Over the past 24-hours, medical care at Al-Rantisi and Al-Nasr children’s hospitals has reportedly almost ceased, with only a small generator powering the intensive care and neonatal intensive care units, the UN organization said.

Intense attacks and hostilities are reported near Al-Rantisi hospital, where there are reportedly children on dialysis and in intensive care, it added.

The Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital was damaged again yesterday in an attack, including lifesaving equipment, according to UNICEF reports. Another children’s hospital in the north has stopped operating due to damage and a lack of fuel, and a specialist maternity hospital is in desperate need of fuel to keep functioning.

“Children’s right to life and health is being denied,” said Adele Khodr, UNICEF Middle East and North Africa Regional Director. “The protection of hospitals and delivery of lifesaving medical supplies is an obligation under the laws of war, and both are needed now.”
