- Reports and other documents
After more than six months of war, Gaza's healthcare system has been devastated, bombed, attacked and put out of service by the Israeli army. Only 10 out of 36 hospitals are still functional, placing an immense burden on the health structures that can still accommodate patients. Access to drinking water and food is restricted by the state of siege, depriving the population of essential resources. In this context, and according to the observations of MSF teams, numerous diseases are spreading and leading to multiple deaths.
