Health Minister appeals to international community to open safe passage into Gaza

Damascus, SANA- Health Minister, Hasan al-Ghabbash Thursday appealed to the international community and human rights organizations to gear up their efforts, stop the Israeli aggression on the Palestinians and immediately deliver the medical aid to civilians.

“A safe and durable corridor should be inaugurated to deliver the medical and humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza in an urgent way,” Ghabbash said in a briefing about the escalation of hostile acts in the Occupied Palestinian lands held by World Health Organization regional bureau via internet.

The Minister added that shelling the health centers, and the difficulty of access to them, and electricity blackout in Gaza led to the lack of basic health services, on top, children vaccines.
