WHO: Injured Journalist Prevented from Receiving Healthcar
Picture
The World Health Organisation issued its monthly report entitled “Health Access Barriers for Patients in the Occupied Palestinian Territory”, in which the organisation highlighted the case of ALRAY Media Agency’s photographer, Attia Darwish, who was seriously injured a month ago.

WHO said, in its report, which comes in three parts, that a tear gas canister hit Darwish, a 31-year-old photojournalist, in his face, under his left eye, when he was covering demonstrations near the Gaza fence.

“I was taking photos when my phone rang, and I tried to take the call. Suddenly, I felt a blow to my face and fell down,” Attia said, according to Al Ray.

The ambulance picked him up within minutes and took him to a trauma stabilization point close to the fence. After initial assessment and first aid, Attia was rushed to Shifa hospital, in Gaza, for treatment. He had multiple facial fractures and severe bleeding at the back of his eye, putting his sight at risk, the report said.

WHO said that Darwish had surgery to remove shrapnel from the wound, fix his lower jaw and replace fragmented bones in his face with metal plates. He also received initial treatment for his eye injury, but needed review and specialist care outside of Gaza.

“As a photographer, I depend on my eyes to do my job. Now, I can hardly see with my left eye. Getting proper treatment is something critical for me,” Attia said. He subsequently received a medical referral, from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, to go for an appointment to St John’s Eye Hospital, in Jerusalem.

He applied to Israeli authorities for a permit to exit Gaza, for treatment, but, when the date of his hospital appointment came, his permit application was still under review. Attia despaired of getting a permit to exit Gaza, via Erez crossing with Israel, and asked the Services Purchasing Unit in the Ministry of Health to refer him, instead, for treatment in Egypt, WHO recounted.

On the day of his travel, however, Rafah crossing point to Egypt was closed for exit. “I cannot feel the left side of my face. I can only eat soft food and I’m suffering with the pain. The cold weather makes it even worse. When I was in hospital, one of the doctors said I either need a bone graft or an artificial implant. But, neither of those is available in Gaza,” he said, according to the report.

WHO said that when they spoke with Attia, he still had not received his permit to leave Gaza to Jerusalem, stressing that “his case is not an exception.”

The orgnisation pointed out that of 435 permit applications to Israeli authorities by those injured during the Great March of Return demonstrations, only 19% have been approved, where those unable to access the health care they need face a higher risk of complications and poorer health outcomes.

Ministry warns of looming paralysis in Gaza hospitals
Picture
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip on Saturday condemned the humanitarian organizations' continued neglect of Gaza hospitals' urgent need for fuel.

The Ministry warned of "imminent paralysis" in the health sector due to the worsening crisis.

Spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Ashraf al-Qedra, said in a press statement that the current situation requires an immediate and responsible action by humanitarian organizations to save the lives of hundreds of patients and children.

"The fuel grant supervised by the UN ended in November 2018, and no other grant has been allocated to the hospitals yet," al-Qedra said.

Al-Qedra pointed out that the Ministry of Health has taken tough austerity measures to manage the acute fuel shortage mainly through the use of small power generators and rescheduled services. However, the crisis is worsening, and soon these measures will become useless, he added.

He added that Gaza health facilities now need 300,000 liters of diesel per month, instead of the usual 540,000 liters, in view of the improvement witnessed in the electricity distribution schedule recently thanks to the Qatari fuel grant.

"With every additional hour of power outage we need about 2,000 liters of fuel to ensure the continuation of our health services," the Ministry of Health said.

The Ministry praised the fuel aid offered by the Turkish foundation IHH, Advocacy Committee in Jordan, and some local gas stations to several health facilities in Gaza.

It stressed that individual initiatives are highly appreciated but unfortunately they are not enough.

Five Gaza major hospitals a few days ago closed their doors following the depletion of the fuel used to run alternative generators during power outages.

14 Palestinians injured by Israeli forces across Gaza
Picture
At least 14 Palestinians were shot and injured by Israeli forces at the eastern borders of the besieged Gaza Strip, on Friday, including a paramedic and a journalist.

Palestinian crowds gathered alongside the eastern borders of the Gaza Strip to take part in the weekly march to break the ongoing Israeli siege.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that a Palestinian teenage girl was shot and injured in the leg by Israeli forces alongside the eastern borders of Gaza City.

Israeli forces were deployed across the borders of the Gaza Strip to suppress the weekly "Great March of Return" protests.

The ministry confirmed that one paramedic was injured in eastern Gaza City, and one journalist was injured in eastern al-Breij in the central Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces fired tear-gas bombs at a medical station in eastern Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

"The Great March of Return" protests were launched on March 30th by thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza -- which has suffered from a decade-long Israeli siege -- who took to the borders to demand their right of return as refugees to their original homelands, now in present-day Israel.

Gaza: Health services at a critical point due to fuel crisis
Picture
The Palestinian ministry of health has warned that the health services in Gaza have become at a dangerous juncture due to the fuel crisis, appealing to all concerned parties to take immediate steps to prevent an imminent disaster.

In a statement, the ministry affirmed that the health facilities in Gaza need 300, 000 liters of diesel per month to operate generators in light of the current power outages.

The ministry expressed its appreciation to the Turkish humanitarian group IHH, the Abu Asi gas station and al-Falah Charity for providing a total contribution of 15,700 liters of diesel for different hospitals, but it pointed out that such fuel quantities would be used within a few days.

Soldiers Invade Al-Makassed Hospital In Jerusalem
Picture
Dozens of Israeli soldiers and police officers invaded, Monday, the al-Makassed charitable society hospital in occupied Jerusalem to prevent the Palestinians from holding a celebration for the fiftieth anniversary of the medical center’s establishment.

The celebration was being held in the theater room of the hospital’s medical college, in Jabal az-Zeitoun area, in occupied Jerusalem.

Palestinian Health Minister, Dr. Jawad Awwad, and Jerusalem Affairs Minister Adnan al-Husseini in addition to Jerusalem Governor Adnan Gheith, the head of the Higher Islamic Committee, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, and the head of al-Makassed Hospital, al-Makassed Chairman Dr. Arafat Hadmi, along with many other officials and figures were participating in the celebration, which is sponsored by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Besides honoring the golden anniversary of its establishment, the hospital was also celebrating the opening of several news branches in the medical center.

It is worth mention that the soldiers forced everybody out of the theater where the celebrating was about to take place and abducted several Palestinians. video

Nevertheless, the Palestinians later conducted the celebrations despite the army’s invasion and violations.

During the last several years, Israeli soldiers and police officers have repeatedly invaded al-Makassed, especially to attempt to abduct wounded Palestinians.

6 hospitals in Gaza shut down due to power shortage
Picture
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip on Sunday warned of an unprecedented humanitarian and health disaster in the enclave after seven hospitals were forced to suspend services because of the power shortage.

Head of al-Rantisi Children's Hospital, which is one of only two facilities in Gaza equipped to treat cancer patients, Mohammed Salmiya said in a press conference, "For the first time since Israel imposed the blockade on the Gaza Strip, we are unable to make further efforts to run power generators for additional hours."

Abu Salmiya said that, based on daily field reports by technical and administrative staff, what is available at Gaza hospitals is less than 17% of the fuel needed during power outages.

Abu Salmiya noted that the austerity measures taken by the Ministry of Health will soon become useless as the crisis is worsening.

Gaza's Ministry of Health appealed to those concerned to make serious actions toward ending the crisis and fulfilling Gaza patients' right to receive proper treatment.

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has been suffering from growing crises in different fields as a result of the Israeli 13-year-long blockade on the enclave, and the sanctions imposed by the Palestinian Authority government for about two years.

Gaza hospitals need 45,000 liters of fuel per month to operate generators during power outages which last for 8-12 hours a day.

Gaza hospitals to shut down due to power shortage
Picture
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip on Saturday warned that five hospitals in the enclave are on the verge of shutting down due to power outages.

Spokesman for the Ministry Ashraf al-Qedra said that the next few hours will be crucial for five major hospitals in Gaza, including two children's hospitals.

According to al-Qedra, these hospitals are to face the same fate of Beit Hanoun Hospital which has closed its doors due to power shortage resulting from depletion of fuel used to run alternative generators during power outage.

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has been suffering from acute power and drug shortage as a result of the 13-year-long blockade and the sanctions imposed on the enclave by the Palestinian Authority for nearly two years now.

On 43rd Friday of Great March of Return and Breaking Siege, Israeli Forces Wound 119 Civilians, including 30 Children, 5 Women, 5 Paramedics, and 2 Journalists
Date: 18 January 2019, The Palestinian Center For Human Right (PCHR):  On Friday evening, 18 January 2019, Israeli forces wounded 119 Palestinian civilians, including 30 children, 5 women, 5 paramedics, and 2 journalists, in the peaceful demonstrations in the eastern Gaza Strip despite the decreasing intensity of the demonstrations there for the twelfth week consecutively and absence of most means usually used during the demonstrations since the beginning of the Return and Breaking the Siege March 10 months ago.

According to observations by PCHR’s fieldworkers, though the demonstrators were around tens of meters away from the border fence, the Israeli forces who stationed in prone positions and in military jeeps along the fence continued to use excessive force against the demonstrators by opening fire and firing teargas canisters at them.
As a result, many of the demonstrators were hit with bullets and teargas canisters to their head without posing any imminent threat or danger to the life of soldiers.

On this Friday,  the Israeli forces have increasingly targeted the medical personnel in the field and wounded 5 of them, including 2 female and  male paramedics in eastern Khan Yunis, 2 female paramedics in eastern Jabalia and a paramedic in eastern al-Buriej camp.

Moreover, the Israeli forces fired a barrage of teargas canisters near where ambulances were parked in Khan Younis.  All of this indicates an Israeli systematic policy to target the medical personnel and obstruct their humanitarian action that is guaranteed with protection under the international humanitarian law.

On 18 January 2019, the incidents were as follows:

At approximately 14:30, thousands of civilians, including women, children and entire families, started swarming to the five encampments established by the Supreme National Authority of Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege adjacent to the border fence with Israel in eastern Gaza Strip cities, except for northern Gaza due to bad weather.

Hundreds, including children and women, approached the border fence with Israel in front of each encampment and gathered tens of meters away from the main border fence, attempting to throw stones at the Israeli forces. Although the demonstrators gathered in areas open to the Israeli snipers stationed on the top of the sand berms and military watchtowers and inside and behind the military jeeps, the Israeli forces fired live and rubber bullets in addition to a barrage of teargas canisters.

The Israeli shooting, which continued at around 17:00, resulted in the injury of 119 civilians, including 30 children, 5 women, 5 paramedics, and 2 journalists. In addition, dozens of demonstrators, paramedics and journalists suffered tear gas inhalation and seizures due to tear gas canisters that were fired by the Israeli forces from the military jeeps and riffles in the eastern Gaza Strip.

The following table shows the number of civilian victims due to the Israeli forces’ suppression of the Great March of Return since its beginning on 30 March:

Notes                                                                         Medical Crews        Journalists      Women      Children      Total      Casualties

Among those Killed, there were 8 Persons with
Disabilities and a girl.                                                          3                         2                    2                 36            183          Killed
Among those wounded, 514 are in serious
condition and 101 had their lower or upper
limbs amputated; 89 lower-limb amputations,
2 upper-limb amputations, 10 finger amputations
and 17 children had their limbs amputated
according to the Ministry of Health.  
The number of those wounded only include                      165                      173               303             1907        10,391    Wounded
those wounded with live bullets and directly
hit with tear gas canisters as there have been
thousand others who suffered tear gas inhalation
and sustained bruises.

PCHR emphasizes that continuously targeting civilians, who exercise their right to peaceful assembly or while carrying out their humanitarian duty, is a serious violation of the rules of international law, international humanitarian law, the ICC Rome Statute and Fourth Geneva Convention. Thus, PCHR calls upon the ICC Prosecutor to open an official investigation in these crimes and to prosecute and hold accountable all those applying or involved in issuing orders within the Israeli Forces at the security and political echelons.

PCHR hereby condemns the excessive use of force and commission of crimes by the Israeli forces despite the prevailed calmness, believing it is as a result of Israel’s enjoying impunity thanks to the U.S. and so encouraging the Israeli forces to commit further crimes upon an official decision by the highest military and political echelons.

PCHR also reiterates its call upon the High Contracting Parties to the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention to fulfill their obligations under Article 1; i.e., to respect and ensure respect for the Convention in all circumstances and their obligations under Article 146 to prosecute persons alleged to commit grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

PCHR calls upon Switzerland, in its capacity as the Depository State for the Convention, to demand the High Contracting Parties to convene a meeting and ensure Israel’s respect for this Convention, noting that these grave breaches constitute war crimes under Article 147 of the same Convention and Protocol (I) Additional to the Geneva Conventions regarding the guarantee of Palestinian civilians’ right to protection in the occupied territories.

Beit Hanoun Hospital to Shut Down over Ongoing Fuel Crisis
Picture
Beit Hanoun hospital director Jameel Suleiman has warned that their generator would be shut down within two days, due to shortage of fuel.

Suleiman said, in a statement, that the depletion of fuel would lead to complete paralysis in the services of the hospital, which serves 340 thousand people north of the Gaza Strip.

The spokesman of the ministry, Ashraf al-Qedra, appealed on Monday to all interested parties, to work towards immediately ending the fuel crisis in hospitals and facilities of the Ministry of Health, stressing that it will have catastrophic repercussions on patients in the Gaza Strip when the generators stopped, within just a few days.

Gaza hospitals need 450 thousand liters of fuel, per month, to operate generators during power outages that last for 8-12 hours a day, according to the ministry.

Home to more than two million people, the Gaza Strip, which continues to groan under Israeli siege, has struggled with severe electricity shortages since 2006.

Al Ray further reports that, according to Gaza’s sole power company, the Strip needs about 560 MW of electricity to meet the needs of the Palestinian population, there.
