Gaza Health Ministry says medical supplies level ‘catastrophic’

Twenty-two hospitals out of 38 are out of service in Gaza, the Health Ministry has said, while those that continue to operate are facing a “catastrophic” shortage of medical supplies.

Here are some figures the ministry provided in a statement:

Forty-seven percent of the essential medicine list has been depleted, as well as 65 percent of the medical consumables list.

Only 30 primary care centres are currently operating out of 105.

Fifty operating rooms are currently working, albeit in dire conditions, out of 104.

Twenty-five oxygen stations out of a total of 34 have been destroyed, leaving only 9 partly operational.

Seven MRI machines were destroyed, leaving the Gaza Strip without diagnostic MRI equipment.

Forty-nine of 110 generators are operating in the Gaza Strip’s hospitals, and they urgently need maintenance and fuel supplies.

Plane targeted at Sanaa airport scheduled for Hajj pilgrimage

Israeli aircraft have carried out four air strikes on Sanaa International Airport this morning, targeting the runway and a Yemeni Airlines plane, the head of the airport says.

Khaled al-Shaif, the airport’s director, said on X that Israel targeted “the last functional aircraft belonging to Yemeni Airlines at Sana’a International Airport, completely destroying it”.

Flight data indicated that the targeted aircraft was an Airbus A320-233 that had arrived from the Jordanian capital, Amman. It landed in Sanaa at about 9:10am (6:10 GMT).

According to information from Flightradar24 obtained by Al Jazeera, the plane was scheduled to fly to the Saudi city of Jeddah for the Hajj pilgrimage. On Friday, the airport had announced it would operate two flights a day to Jeddah for nine days to transport pilgrims.
