The ministry indicated that 26 of the 35 hospitals in Gaza and 52 of the 72 primary health care clinics, more than two thirds, have ceased to operate due to the damage caused by bombing or lack of fuel, explaining that the nine remaining hospitals are partially operating.
On November 16, for the second consecutive day, the Israeli occupation forces, accompanied by tanks, stormed the Al-Shifa medical complex in Gaza and occupied several departments. The southern part of the complex was damaged, including the radiology service and the occupation forces have taken several corpses from the interior of the hospital.
