Gaza Doctors Donate Own Blood As Healthcare System Nears Collapse

Health workers cite starvation, medicine shortages, and a decimated hospital network as casualties mount

Doctors in Gaza have begun donating their own blood to treat patients after Israeli forces opened fire on crowds seeking food earlier this week, according to statements made by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) officials on 5 June.

On 3 June, Israeli forces killed at least 27 starving Palestinians near a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) food distribution site in Rafah. Just two days earlier, Israeli troops had opened fire on civilians near another GHF aid point, resulting in at least 31 dead and over 170 injured.

The back-to-back incidents pushed Gaza’s already crippled healthcare system beyond its breaking point. With medical supplies running low and hospitals overwhelmed, doctors began donating their own blood to keep patients alive.

Around 100 staffers from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) protested outside the UN headquarters in Geneva, condemning the Israeli-backed aid distribution system in Gaza, which they say has led to chaos and civilian deaths.

MSF director Stephen Cornish stated that severe hunger has left many Palestinians too weak to donate blood, forcing medical personnel to intervene themselves.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Hebrew media says Israel is now 100% ready for a strike on Iran's nuclear sites, and that everything now depends on President Trump

If Trump comes out openly and says the negotiations have failed, we could see Israeli military action against Iran within the immediate timeframe.

If he doesn't come out and announce the negotiations have failed, then it means the U.S. will examine Iran's counter-offer and we may have a few more weeks.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇱/🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: During the phone call with President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel is now willing to accept 'limited enrichment levels' (3.67%) on Iranian soil temporarily, instead of zero enrichment, and Israel also no longer insists on a 'full dismantlement' of Iran's nuclear program — Kann

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Events regarding Iran's 'Nuclear Issue' in the past 24 hours:

– Iran officially rejected the latest U.S. proposal. The proposal allowed Iran to enrich uranium at civilian levels (3.67%) temporarily, until a regional enrichment consortium would be established & Iran would be forced to gradually dismante its nuclear infrastructure. Iran called the proposal 'delusional' and 'one-sided'.

– Iran made a counter-proposal to the U.S. via Oman, the contents are currently unknown. Two things are known: Iran insists on domestic enrichment (permanent, not temporary) and on immediate sanctions relief. Some reports claim Iran also advocates for a 'nuke-free Middle East', urging Israel to destroy its existing nuclear arsenal.

– Immediately after Iran's rejection of the U.S. proposal, Trump and Netanyahu held a phone call regarding Iran. In the phone call, Netanyahu basically expressed support for the American offer — temporary enrichment on Iranian soil which would be gradually phased out (a red line for Iran).

– Tonight, following the phone call, Netanyahu will hold a high-level security meeting with various ministers and IDF commanders at the Kirya. The topic: A possible strike on Iran.

– IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi admitted that Iran did indeed manage to obtain thousands of sensitive nuclear files from Israel in a secret operation.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 BREAKING: Iran's Supreme National Security Council has released an unprecedented statement:

'Any aggression by the Israeli regime against Iranian nuclear facilities will be met with an immediate strike on Israel's secret and undeclared nuclear sites as well as economic and military infrastructure.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Full statement by Iran's Supreme National Security Council:

'In the name of God Almighty.

The recent complex intelligence operation carried out by the anonymous soldiers of the 'Imam of our Time' (Imam Mahdi) are a great intelligence achievement and an important part of the intelligent design and covert and secret actions by the sacred Islamic system against the enemies' schemes.

Another important part of this is the round-the-clock struggle of our armed forces to create operational capacity aligned with the weaknesses and strengths of the Zionist regime and its supporters.

Today, access to this newly revealed information and the completion of the intelligence and operational cycle have enabled the warriors of Islam to immediately counter any possible attack by the Zionist regime's against our nuclear facilities.

To any such aggression, including any aggression against our economic or military infrastructure, we will respond instantly by attacking their hidden nuclear facilities.

@Middle_East_Spectator

This statement is unprecedented.

It's not the same as your average General saying 'we'll destroy Israel' for the 20th time this week. That's just normal rhetoric.

The Supreme National Security Council is solely responsible for any military action carried out by Iran, and it answers directly to the Supreme Leader.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Iran's Supreme National Security Council: 'The 'target bank' of Israel is now on the table of Iran's armed forces'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— NOTE: They way it was written in Farsi implies that Iran has somehow managed to obtain Israel's entire bank of targets within Iran, so Iran now knows where the Israelis want to strike & which locations are exposed.
