00:00 The Gaza Ministry of Health has declared the total collapse of the health system in the
00:04 Strip, a situation that the Palestinian authorities announced as endangering the lives of thousands
00:10 of people, victims of the ongoing Zionist war of extermination against the children
00:14 of the Palestinian territory.
00:16 Hisham Wanous brings us more in this report.
00:24 The wounded, mostly women, children and the elderly, who are arriving constantly at the
00:28 hospitals due to the continuous Israeli bombardment, are treated on the floor and in the corridors,
00:33 and the doctors are forced to operate on them without anesthesia.
00:37 The incessant Israeli attack, added to the lack of fuel, supplies and medical equipment
00:42 due to the siege, have turned the hospital into shelters, full of displaced persons who,
00:46 in addition to making the work of medical personnel even more difficult, are exposed
00:51 to epidemics and contagious diseases due to the lack of water and adequate hygiene.
01:02 We denounce that there is a conspiracy against the Palestinian people to exterminate and
01:06 liquidate them completely, and we condemn that these Zionist extermination plans receive
01:11 the full support of the great Western power.
01:15 Therefore, we ask the free countries and people of the world, including Venezuela, which has
01:20 always defended Palestinian rights, to act united to adopt a single forceful position
01:26 through which they could save the Palestinians from these massacres to which they are subjected.
01:33 I want to express my solidarity with my fellow countrymen in Gaza, and this is the least
01:38 I can do, as many Palestinians in the diaspora do, to let them know that we are by their
01:43 side and we are ready to defend them with our lives and to offer the most valuable thing
01:49 we have to save them.
01:52 The few caravans of food and medical assistance that have entered Gaza so far do not meet
01:56 even the minimum needs of the inhabitants of the besieged strip.
02:00 This is what the Palestinians denounce inside and outside the occupied territories, who,
02:04 in front of the United Nations headquarters in the different capitals of the world, demand
02:08 more pressure from the so-called international community to lift the siege, open humanitarian
02:13 corridors and stop the Israeli war of extermination against the inhabitants of Gaza.
02:22 We consider that the silence of the United Nations and the world community in the face
02:26 of these crimes is something regrettable and shameful that stains the reputation of international
02:31 organizations and constitutes a green light to the Zionist occupation regime to continue
02:37 with its aggression against the Palestinian people in the most savage and brutal way,
02:42 including massacres, ethnic cleansing and war of extermination against the Palestinian
02:46 people.
02:47 Hospitals, ambulances, rescue teams, medical personnel, the sick, the wounded and the displaced
02:54 are also among the targets of Israeli aggression, attacks that the Palestinians as well as the
02:59 other free peoples of the world qualify as war crimes and crimes against humanity that
03:05 in addition to being stopped, they demand the prosecution and punishment of their perpetrators
03:10 as well as their accomplices in Washington and the other European and Western countries.
