The medical situation in Gaza’s hospitals has reached an unprecedented crisis level, with untreated open wounds, severe shortages of basic medical supplies, and a lack of food jeopardizing patient treatment. Israeli restrictions on aid deliveries have worsened the situation, leading to what UN officials describe as a “man-made famine” in Gaza. Hospitals are under assault, exacerbating the already dire conditions. International aid groups report harrowing scenes, with patients dying due to infections and lack of post-operative care. The entire population of Gaza is facing food insecurity, with famine looming in the north. Despite efforts by medical teams, the healthcare system is on the brink of collapse, with only a few partially functioning hospitals remaining. This dire situation has prompted urgent warnings from multiple humanitarian organizations and the World Health Organization about the critical conditions in Gaza’s hospitals.

I had no idea the situation in Gaza’s hospitals was this dire. It’s heartbreaking to hear about patients dying due to lack of basic medical supplies and post-operative care. I’m wondering, what are some ways that people can help support the healthcare system in Gaza during this crisis?
This is truly heartbreaking to hear. The people of Gaza urgently need support and aid to address this humanitarian crisis. It’s devastating to see healthcare systems on the brink of collapse
