Gaza's Healthcare Crisis: No Functional Hospitals, High Death Toll, and Displaced Population
TL;DR
The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that there are no functional hospitals left in northern Gaza due to a lack of fuel, staff, and supplies. Patients are begging for food and water, and the situation is described as "beyond catastrophic." Only nine out of 36 health facilities in Gaza are partially functional, all of which are concentrated in southern Gaza. The WHO is calling for a humanitarian ceasefire to restock and reinforce the remaining health facilities and provide essential care to the injured.
