UN Inquiry Accuses Israel of 'Extermination' in Gaza Health Crisis
A UN inquiry has officially accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity, particularly in relation to the widespread destruction of Gaza's healthcare system amid the ongoing conflict. Reports highlight that Gaza's healthcare infrastructure has suffered catastrophic damage, with over 1,000 healthcare workers reportedly killed, and critical shortages affecting medical services. Medical personnel are struggling to keep up with the needs of patients, facing dire conditions characterized as 'post-apocalyptic' by volunteer surgeons. The situation remains desperate as both the WHO and independent experts warn that the humanitarian crisis is only deepening, with a significant portion of Gaza's population in urgent need of medical evacuation and treatment. As the anniversary of intensified hostilities approaches, the pleas of healthcare workers and the suffering of civilians in the region draw increasing global attention.
