The Gaza government media office has said that medical services are no longer available in the Gaza City and North Gaza governorates.
In a post on its official Telegram channel the office said that the closure of Kamal Adwan Hospital and the ongoing siege of al-Awda Hospital "has led to a cessation of all services, including those relating to primary health, maternity health and children's vaccinations".
"We demand the establishment of field hospitals and the entry of medical delegations immediately and urgently," it added, warning that without this, 700,000 people could face a "humanitarian catastrophe".
