△ Gaza Strip (image) On the evening of the 21st local time, the health sector in the Gaza Strip opposed the Israeli military’s request to transfer health system resources from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip, believing that this would not only damage the local remaining health system but also deprive more than one million people of the right to treatment and endanger the lives of residents, patients, and injured people. The department called on all international agencies and UN agencies to make efforts to protect the remaining health system in Gaza and provide all necessary resources to save lives. Earlier that day, the Israeli Defense Forces said they had held initial talks with medical staff and international organizations in the north of the Gaza Strip and requested preparations for transferring patients and medical equipment to the south of the Gaza Strip to cope with possible military operations.
