Gaza's Healthcare System Teeters on the Edge of Collapse Amidst Ongoing Conflict

The Israeli assault on Gaza has caused the health sector to collapse, with over half of the hospitals closed and the remaining ones on the brink of closure due to power cuts, fuel shortages, and lack of medical supplies. Pregnant women and infants are particularly vulnerable, as power interruptions put neonatal care at risk. Cancer patients are also suffering, with hospitals running out of essential medicines. The blockade and limited aid have further exacerbated the dire situation, leaving hospitals without basic supplies. The ongoing war and siege have left thousands of people in Gaza in desperate need of medical care.
