Gaza hospitals face collapse amid renewed Israeli airstrikes and attacks on medical facilities and workers
ai generated text
A United Nations (U.N.) report accuses Israel of imposing "collective punishment" on Palestinians in retaliation. The report states that the Israeli siege has severely hindered the functioning of hospitals in Gaza, preventing them from receiving essential supplies such as food, fuel, water, and medical equipment. This has had severe consequences, as Dr. Husam Abu Safiyeh, the director of Kamal Adwan hospital, notes that his hospital is struggling to comply with an Israeli army order to evacuate all patients within 24 hours, citing the severity of their conditions.
This U.N. report is detached from reality and includes baseless claims about Israel.
By targeting health care facilities, Israel is targeting the right to health itself with significant long-term detrimental effects on the civilian population.
Children in particular have borne the brunt of these attacks, suffering both directly and indirectly from the collapse of the health system.
Israel has perpetrated a concerted policy to destroy Gaza's health care system as part of a broader assault on Gaza, committing war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination with relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities.
Many are refusing [to evacuate] because they know too well that no place anywhere in Gaza is safe.
We have been trapped for days and we don't know where to go. All places are dangerous and are subjected to heavy and indiscriminate bombardment. In the end we decided to stay where we are … but we don't have water or food and we cannot sleep at night because of the intensity of the bombing.
