Gaza’s humanitarian crisis escalates as Israeli forces intensify attacks and restrict vital supplies.

Israeli attacks killed 42 Palestinians in a single day, including a doctor and his three children in a strike on a tent in al-Mawasi, a designated “humanitarian zone.”

Hospitals, overwhelmed by hourly casualties, report 1,580 health workers killed since October 7, 2023, including 90 doctors and 132 nurses.

Attacks targeted schools, homes, and aid points, with six killed in al-Mawasi and five at al-Shafi School in Gaza City, exacerbating the strain on medical facilities.

Baby Milk Ban Worsens Health Crisis

Israel’s blockade prevents baby milk from entering Gaza, deepening malnutrition risks for vulnerable populations.

Marwan al-Hams, director of field hospitals, stated, “The occupation [by Israel] still prevents the entry of baby milk into the Gaza Strip.”

Hospitals, already grappling with shortages of antibiotics and anaesthetics, struggle to manage the rising number of wounded with minimal resources.

Fuel Shortages Threaten Hospital Operations

The Gaza Health Ministry warns that fuel rationing by Israel is crippling hospital generators, endangering critical departments.

UNRWA emphasized that without fuel shipments, basic services face shutdown, describing it as “a collective punishment” on Palestinians.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, seen as an Israeli intelligence tool, complicates aid delivery, leaving Gaza’s healthcare system on the brink of collapse.
