Gaza's Health System in Crisis: Overcrowded Hospitals and Limited Supplies Lead to Collapse
The health care system in Gaza is on the verge of collapse, with overcrowded hospitals and a severe shortage of medical supplies. Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) has been forced to stop providing support to clinics in southern Gaza due to evacuation orders from Israeli forces, leading to a complete collapse of health care services in the area. The World Health Organization (WHO) has managed to deliver essential supplies to one hospital in Gaza City, but the overall health system is deteriorating rapidly. Only 14 out of 36 hospitals are partially functioning, with a significant reduction in bed capacity. The UN General Assembly has scheduled an emergency meeting to vote on a draft resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza.
