As Israeli forces continue their attacks on hospitals in Gaza, doctors and medical teams in the strip have been working under intense pressure, and with great difficulty, to treat illnesses and injuries due to the lack of proper medication and the rapid spread of bacteria.
“The medical teams in Gaza are fighting a fierce battle against bacteria, which no longer respond to most antibiotics,” said Izzedin Shaheen, a doctor in the besieged enclave, via X on 21 November.
“Hardly any person with a wound infection survives, no matter how hard the doctors try. All the conditions are bad – no sterilization and no sufficient antibiotics. We have even found E. Coli bacteria in bone tissue, which is unfamiliar in medical books,” Shaheen added.
The continued acceleration of the health crisis in Gaza coincides with Tel Aviv’s Generals’ Plan, which Israel is unofficially implementing in the northern strip, which has been besieged for nearly two months. The Israeli army has expelled over 100,000 Palestinians from the north, aiming to transform the area into an isolated military zone.
