Meanwhile in Gaza, the United Nations condemns the intentional destruction of complex and hard-to-obtain medical equipment in Gaza's beleaguered hospitals. | |
Dominic Allen, the UN Population Fund's (UNFPA) representative for Palestine says that recent UN-led missions to 10 hospitals in Gaza found many "in ruins", and only a couple still capable of providing maternal health services, according to AFP. | |
He speaks of Al-Khair maternity hospital in Khan Younis, where "it didn't seem as if there was any piece of working medical equipment", adding that the birthing rooms "stand silent". | |
"They should be a place of giving life and they just have an eerie sense of death." | |
Allen's statement is also carried by UN News, where he is quoted as saying: | |
“What I saw, it breaks my heart…It's indescribable. What we see there is medical equipment, purposefully broken, ultrasounds – which you will know is a very important tool for helping ensure safe births – with cables that have been cut, screens of complex medical equipment like ultrasounds and other with the screens smashed. So, purposeful, wanton destruction in the maternity ward.” | |
