In a dire update on Day 68 of the Palestine-Israel conflict, a World Health Organization (WHO) official revealed that only 11 of Gaza's hospitals remain partially functional, accounting for less than a third of the region's healthcare facilities. This alarming statistic underscores the severe strain on Gaza's medical infrastructure amidst ongoing hostilities.
The WHO has urgently called for the protection of these remaining hospitals, emphasizing the critical need to keep medical facilities intact to address the escalating humanitarian crisis. Earlier statements from the organization have been strongly critical of Israel, accusing it of detaining and mistreating medical staff during an urgent mission inside Gaza. These allegations highlight the growing concerns over the treatment of healthcare professionals and the overall impact of the conflict on civilian lives.
