UN records 17 Israeli attacks on Gaza City health facilities in past 2 weeks

The UN’s Human Rights Office for the occupied Palestinian territory says it has recorded 17 Israeli attacks “on or near health facilities in Gaza City” since September 16 as Israel continues its offensive on the territory’s largest urban area.

The organisation said al-Quds Hospital, al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital and the Medical Relief Health Centre, all in Gaza City, were directly struck, while attacks also took place in the vicinity of al-Shifa Hospital and al-Ahli Hospital.

“Such attacks are leaving sick and injured civilians with nowhere to turn to for life-saving care, as escalating attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure are leading to countless casualties,” it said. “Immediate protection and access to healthcare and humanitarian assistance are imperative.”

Gaza’s Health Ministry, as of September 25, said only seven out of 13 hospitals in Gaza City were “operational, but only barely”.

Since mid-August, the cluster reports, almost 400,000 large-scale movements of people have taken place.
