00:00Following the ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel's attacks
00:05in the Gaza Strip had intensified specifically in the Nusra Rafiqa, mainly targeting the
00:10health sectors.
00:11From Gaza, our correspondent Huda Hegazi has more details.
00:20After the ceasefire agreed between the Israeli regime and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon,
00:25the attacks of the Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip have intensified, especially in the
00:29last two days.
00:31Today, the Israeli regime has focused all its attacks specifically on the Nusirat refugee
00:36camp in the central Gaza Strip, specifically in the northern part of the refugee camp.
00:54Since the beginning of this morning, the Israeli regime bombed from the air and from the ground
00:58the tallest buildings in that refugee camp and approximately five buildings have been
01:02destroyed, especially the highest floors, as an attempt by the Israeli army to destroy
01:07every tall structure that is in that camp.
01:10Because in the case that the army wants to incursion into the interior of that refugee
01:14camp is easier for it since it has greater visibility without tall buildings that prevent
01:18it from operating or entering in that camp.
01:33Since the beginning of this morning, the Israeli regime bombed from the air and from the ground
01:38the tallest buildings in that refugee camp and approximately five buildings have been
01:42destroyed, especially the highest floors, as an attempt by the Israeli army to destroy
01:47every tall structure that is in that camp.
01:50Because in the case that the army wants to incursion into the interior of that refugee
01:53camp is easier for it since it has greater visibility without tall buildings that prevent
01:58it from operating or entering in that camp.
02:11It has been reported that ambulance cars have been directly attacked and one of the cars
02:15has been completely destroyed and a paramedic who was in that ambulance car has been injured
02:20in addition to two journalists who were inside it and who were going to report the events
02:24at the site of the incident and one of them is the correspondent of the Al Jazeera channel.
02:39So the attack has even been targeted directly at the medical personnel as well as at the
02:44journalists to prevent them from showing the atrocities of the occupation regime.
02:56Moreover, other ambulance cars have been partially damaged by the shrapnel that has fallen from
03:02the missiles and artillery shells and at this moment the biggest fear is the possibility
03:07of a land incursion since at this moment it has been reported that the military mechanisms
03:12and tanks of the occupation army are being relocated in the north of that camp and at
03:16any moment they could incursion into that place.
03:27Finally, the latest communique issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Healthcare in the
03:33Gaza Strip was a message addressed especially to the international community and the World
03:37Health Organization, in which the situation of the hospitals in the Gaza Strip was reported.
03:43The ministry has assured that approximately 75% of the hospitals and medical centers have
03:48collapsed and are of service.
04:00Only five hospitals remain active in the Gaza Strip, an insufficient number for the amount
04:04of casualties and wounded that occur on a daily basis due to the occupation army shelling.
04:09It has also condemned the closure of the borders, the prevention of the entry of medical supplies
04:14and goods as well as fuel, which is something that is directly affecting the health sector,
04:18and therefore the ministry has directly condemned the indiscriminate attacks of the occupation
04:23army, especially on the health sector here in the Gaza Strip.
