The humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip are exacerbating daily and the sick people in particular suffer each day, Adham Abu Salmiya, the spokesman for the higher committee for ambulance and emergency, said.
He said in a press release on Sunday that many patients could not find transportation means to take them to hospitals or clinics.
He said that the increasing demand on ambulance cars led to crippling 36 of those vehicles due to lack of petrol.
Abu Salmiya pointed out that 404 kidney patients are in need of ambulance cars to take them weekly to their dialysis sessions.
He lashed out at the humanitarian institutions working in Gaza for maintaining silence regarding the conditions in the Strip. “They are content with releasing statements (but no action).”
The signatories of the fourth Geneva Convention should intervene and order Israel to abide by the 33rd articled that prohibits punishing someone for a charge that he did not commit and bans mass punishment, the spokesman said.
