Media office accuses Israel of 'barbaric and brutal aggression' in central Gaza

The Gaza government media office has accused Israel of a "barbaric and brutal aggression" in central Gaza following air strikes that left dozens dead and wounded.

In a statement, the office held both Israel and the US responsible for the killings and said that they were running out of medical resources.

"Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is the only hospital in the Central Governorate and is currently working on only one electric generator after the breakdown of one of the two generators that the hospital has been operating for eight months," said the statement.

"If one of these two generators stops, it portends a real disaster if the only generator stops, and thus the hospital may be out of service. This hospital provides health service to a million people and displaced persons, and it cannot accommodate this large number of martyrs and injuries."

The statement said there were dozens of bodies of martyrs and wounded lying "on the ground, in the streets, and inside safe houses, and ambulances and civil defense cannot reach the places due to the intensity of the bombing and aggression".
