NNA – A World Health Organization official said on Tuesday that only 11, or less than a third, of Gaza#39;s hospitals remain partially functional and pleaded for them to remain intact.
quot;In just 66 days the health system has gone from 36 functional hospitals to 11 partially functional hospitals – one in the north and 10 in the south,quot; Richard Peeperkorn, WHO representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, told a U.N. press briefing by videolink from Gaza.
quot;We cannot afford to lose any health care facilities or hospitals,quot; he said. quot;We hope, we plea that this will not happen.quot;–Reuters
