WHO: Gazas health system under severe threat, calls for halting attacks on hospitals

The Director-General of the organization added that "Al-Ahli and Al-Wafa Rehabilitation Hospitals in Gaza City were attacked by the Israeli army, and both were damaged."
He affirmed that the organization, in cooperation with its partners, delivered today essential medical supplies, food and water to the Indonesian hospital, noting that 10 patients in critical condition were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital, but the occupation forces detained four patients during their transfer, calling on the occupation authorities to ensure that their health needs and rights are respected.
He also demanded the release of the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia.
It is worth noting that about 1060 cadres in the Gaza Strip have been killed since the beginning of the aggression, on October 7, 2023, while more than 310 others have been arrested, hundreds have been injured, and about 130 ambulances have been destroyed, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The deliberate targeting of medical infrastructure has deprived civilians of access to basic health care services.
UN organizations have warned that the volume of medical supplies entering Gaza is insufficient to sustain the health response, and that all medical evacuations outside Gaza are still suspended.
