The director general of the Government Media Office in Gaza says 23 hospitals are out of service because of Israeli bombardment, Al Jazeera reports.

Ismail Al-Thawabta also stressed the health sector has reached the final stage of actual collapse.

Al-Thawabta told Al Jazeera more than 9,000 people have died because of an inability to provide them treatment, and it is likely that number will increase as health facilities go out of service.
