In an interview with Al Jazeera, Al-Bursh stated, “We are witnessing a significant increase in the number of people dying or falling ill due to malnutrition,” warning that “the famine phase currently sweeping the Gaza Strip is the most dangerous, with many collapsing in the streets.”
He added, “We are facing a major health catastrophe, and new diseases have begun to spread throughout the Strip,” noting that “dozens of children are suffering from Guillain-Barré syndrome, and we are unable to treat them.”
Al-Bursh further stated, “For the past three months, we have been receiving around 100 martyrs daily as a result of direct bombardment,” and that “the occupation is killing an average of 28 children per day in the Strip.”
