The United Nations says the health system in Gaza is on the verge of total collapse due to continued Israeli attacks.
The United Nations says only 16 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are functional, and even those are only able to offer partial services.
The UN has verified more than 650 Israeli attacks on medical facilities since the Israeli-Palestinian conflict began in October 2023, and at least 1,054 health workers have been killed.
Israel says Hamas fighters operate from hospitals, but provides little evidence to support its claims.
Is it possible to prevent the collapse of Gaza’s health system?
