The health care committees in Gaza reported that Israeli warplanes bombed on Tuesday their central headquarters which included a specialized medical center in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza city in addition to three mobile clinics and one ambulance.In a press statement received by the PIC, the health committees added that the bombed mobile clinics were trucks equipped with medical equipment received few months ago from a Spanish humanitarian organization. Dr. Nihad Al-Akhras, the head of the union of health care committees, said that the Israeli air raids on medical facilities in the Gaza Strip aim to destroy the infrastructure of the Palestinian people in Gaza and undermine their steadfastness.Dr. Akhras appealed to the Red Cross and UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs to intervene to put an end to the killing of civilians and medical personnel in Gaza and to help the hospitals, medical centers and crew to fulfill their humanitarian duties.Palestinian interior minister Sa'eed Siyam called on the Red Cross and the international human rights organizations to shoulder their responsibilities towards the protection of headquarters and crews of civil defense and medical care.In a statement received by the PIC, Siyam said that Israel bombed most of the civil defense buildings and a number of fire trucks and ambulances.In another statement received by the PIC, the Palestinian health ministry called on the Egyptian authorities to facilitate the entry of volunteer doctors to Gaza in addition to the humanitarian aid sent by Arab states.In the same context, volunteer doctors and medical crews strongly criticized the Egyptian authorities for blocking their entry to Gaza over the past few days in order to provide Gaza people with medical care and assist in alleviating their tragedy.Arab and Greek doctors stated that there are many workers in the medical field from Europe and around the world who expressed willingness to join the other volunteers as soon as the Egyptian authorities open the Rafah border crossing. The Egyptian authorities have also refused to allow trucks carrying food and humanitarian aid into Gaza since the Israeli ground invasion started except for small quantities, which were handed manually through the main gate of the Rafah crossing.
