Another appalling mile stone
WHO records 1,003 attacks on healthcare in the occupied territory since October 7
The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented more than 1,000 attacks on healthcare facilities in the occupied Palestinian territory since October 7.
In a brief post on social media, the WHO made an appeal for the protection of health workers and health facilities in Gaza and other Palestinian territories occupied by Israeli forces.
The UN agency also called for an immediate ceasefire and the allowing of humanitarian access to Gaza, which has been largely denied by Israeli forces who have imposed a blockade on Gaza’s borders amid its war on the Palestinian territory.
Southern Gaza hospitals at ‘breaking point’: Red Cross
All health facilities in southern Gaza have been pushed to “breaking point” due to the arrival of people wounded by Israeli bombardments and doctors could soon be forced to make “difficult choices” on who gets treated, the Red Cross says.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said its 60-bed field hospital in the city of Rafah took in 26 people requiring hospitalisation for shrapnel and other injuries after a strike on the al-Mawasi camp for displaced people on Saturday.
