The World Health Organization called for safeguarding Gaza's health care infrastructure, citing ongoing Israeli attacks on medical facilities. WHO has previously documented strikes on hospitals and clinics across the territory, according to Middle East Monitor. The organization warned that such attacks impede the delivery of essential medical services to civilians in the enclave.
Gaza's health care system faces severe operational constraints, with many facilities damaged, medical supplies depleted, and staff shortages hampering treatment capacity. Health workers have continued to operate under dangerous conditions amid the sustained military operations. The WHO statement came as Gaza's medical sector confronts compounding crises affecting patient care and the ability of providers to respond to urgent health needs.
