As Israel continues its bombardment and blockade of the Gaza Strip, health officials in the besieged Palestinian enclave on Sunday issued an urgent plea to send more medical teams, saying their staffers are "overwhelmed" while trying to save lives.
The Health Ministry urged countries around the world to send healthcare teams of all specialties to Gaza.
It said Israel also targeted hospitals, resulting in the deaths and injuries of numerous medics.
Palestinian Health Minister Mai Al-Kaila told a press conference in Ramallah that Israeli attacks have led to killing of innocent civilians including women and children, besides widespread displacement.
She said Israeli attacks also rendered many ambulances inoperable.
