WHO Chief: Israel took out 2/3 of Gaza's hospitals
Since the 7th of October, WHO has verified more than 250 attacks on health care in Gaza and the West Bank, in addition to 25 attacks on health care in Israel – hospitals, clinics, patients, ambulances. Last week, WHO documented 5 attacks on 5 hospitals in one day.
In the past 48 hours alone, four hospitals have been put out of action, representing some 430 beds.
More than 100 of our UN colleagues have been killed - and counting.
And as we speak, there are reports of firing outside the Al-Shifa and Rantisi hospitals.
Half of the Gaza Strip’s 36 hospitals and two-thirds of its primary health care centres are not functioning at all. Those that are functioning are operating way beyond their capacities. The health system is on its knees, and yet somehow is continuing to deliver some lifesaving care.
