"We call on the relevant authorities to open a safe corridor for the delivery of urgent medical assistance to hospitals in the Gaza Strip," the ministry said in a statement.

On Monday, the head of the health ministry, Medhat Abbas, said in an interview with the Financial Times newspaper that the Gaza Strip would run out of medical supplies in a few days, with thousands of those wounded as a result of Israeli attacks and taken to Gaza hospitals facing acute shortages of medicines. - BERNAMA-SPUTNIK
