Ministry of health in Gaza postponed 4,000 surgeries as a result of increasing number of Palestinians being injured by Israeli attacks on unarmed protesters taking part in the Great March of Return.
In a statement, the General Director of Gaza Hospitals Abdul-Latif al-Haj said that many of the wounded in the “Great March of Return” needed complex surgeries.
Since the start of the peaceful sit-in of the Great March of Return on 30 March Israeli occupation forces have killed 41 Palestinians and wounded around 5,000 others, including 2,500 with live ammunition, most have needed urgent surgery.
