Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports over
250 attacks on hospitals, clinics, patients, and ambulances in Gaza since
October 7.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated:
"The health system in Gaza is in a
state of collapse," describing the situation on the ground as
"impossible to articulate."
Tedros highlighted ongoing gunfire near Shifa and Rantisi Hospitals, emphasizing that Palestinian health workers continue to save lives
despite being in the line of fire. Israel's recent attacks saw five hospitals
hit in a single day, and in the past 48 hours, four hospitals with around 430
beds were forced to go out of service.
