Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir Al-Bursh, mourned his nephew who was martyred in an Israeli bombing, noting in an interview with Al Jazeera that while he was waiting for a call from the channel, he found his nephew martyred in front of him.
Al-Barash sent his condolences to his sister’s husband, who is the Undersecretary of the Palestinian Ministry of Justice, and said that he apologized for informing him of his son’s martyrdom live, and consoled him, saying, “May God reward you.”
Al-Barsh confirmed – in his conversation with Al Jazeera – that the occupation army has been targeting the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital (north of the Gaza Strip) for hours by bombing a center, and added that ambulance teams are no longer able to extract those trapped under the rubble.

He added that those inside the hospital became trapped after snipers deployed on the roofs of buildings adjacent to the hospital.
He pointed out that hospitals in the Gaza Strip have turned into “death counters,” and said, “We receive the dead and count only the bodies, and the hospitals have become only morgues.”
Since last October 7, the Israeli occupation army has launched a continuous aggression against Gaza, leaving 15,523 martyrs and 41,316 wounded, in addition to massive destruction in residential neighborhoods, vital facilities, and hospitals.
