UN Accuses Israel of Devastating Gaza Healthcare Amid Ongoing Conflict
The United Nations has condemned Israel for its military actions that are leading to the destruction of healthcare facilities in Gaza. Recent reports indicate that Israeli forces have emptied the last functioning major hospital in northern Gaza, Kamal Adwan Hospital, detaining its director and forcing both patients and staff to evacuate. With hundreds of health workers reportedly detained and many hospitals either closed or rendered inoperable, the health system in Gaza is on the brink of total collapse. The WHO and various UN officials have called for the protection of health facilities and condemned the raids that have resulted in severe humanitarian consequences. As the conflict continues, concerns grow over the safety and rights of medical professionals and patients caught in the crossfire.
