GAZA, (PIC)-- Dr. Basem Naim, the PA health minister, has affirmed that the Israeli occupation forces had used ten new kinds of weapons in the war on Gaza along with internationally banned arms.

Naim, in an interview with the PIC on Sunday, said that the excessive use of force on the part of the IOF had led to the killing of 1,450 Palestinians mostly civilians while 6,000 others were wounded half of them women and children.

He pointed out that the IOF used three million tons of ammunition in the war on Gaza at an average of two tons for each citizen in the Strip, adding that it was proven that the IOF used internationally banned weapons such as poisonous gases and white phosphorus.

The minister explained that one of those weapons turns at its explosion into small pieces that shred whoever is near it.

He appreciated the efforts by various Arab, regional and Islamic delegations that ventured into the Gaza Strip to extend assistance to the Palestinian citizens.

Naim renewed calls on the Egyptian authority to open the Rafah border crossing, the closure of which along with the Israeli siege, he said, caused the death of dozens of patients.

Naim disclosed that 9000 tons of relief material was still held in the Egyptian city of Arish as the World Health Organization said that 60% of this aid had perished.
