2 thousand medical workers in Gaza could not eat iftar due to lack of food
The holy month of Ramadan began on Monday in the Middle East countries. Muslims all over the world will observe the month with religious solemnity including worship. However, the image of the besieged Gaza territory of Palestine in this year's Ramadan is different.
Nearly 2,000 medical workers could not break their fast in war-torn Gaza due to lack of food.
They work in different hospitals in northern Gaza. Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said this in a statement on Tuesday.
Ashraf al-Qudra said in a statement that about 2,000 medical workers are on the brink of starvation.
At this time, he called on the international relief aid organizations to ensure relief for the medical workers in Gaza as soon as possible.
Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency reported that Monday was the first day of fasting in Gaza. In this war-torn region, millions of people are fasting amid the war. A part of them were those 2 thousand medical workers. But they did not get any food at the time of iftar at the end of the day in their tired bodies.
Currently, northern Gaza is on the brink of famine. Because Israel has blocked vital humanitarian and food aid to the region. According to the World Health Organization, at least one in six people in northern Gaza is currently malnourished.
