🇵🇸 Gaza’s health system is on the brink of total collapse | 972mag

Under Israel’s bombardment and intensified siege, over half of the Strip’s hospitals have completely shut down, with others unable to offer vital services.

The Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip has left the health sector in the besieged coastal enclave in a state of unprecedented, near-total collapse, More than half of the 30 hospitals in Gaza have closed completely, according to the Health Ministry. For others, the window of operation remains precariously short: the crisis has pushed many of the remaining health care centers to the brink of closure, rendering them incapable of providing vital medical services. Health care workers and hospital employees fear that, even as casualties rise daily, the health care system will soon be unable to accommodate new patients.
