As the conflict in Gaza reaches its 78th day, the humanitarian crisis intensifies with the death toll continuing to climb. According to the Health Ministry in Gaza on Friday, at least 20,057 people have been killed since October 7 due to Israeli strikes. This grim number includes more than 8,000 children and 6,200 women, highlighting the profound impact on civilians.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported on Thursday that northern Gaza has been left without a functional hospital. This development exacerbates the dire situation for residents who are in desperate need of medical assistance. The lack of healthcare facilities poses a significant challenge for treating the wounded and managing public health concerns.
The ongoing conflict has not only resulted in a tragic loss of life but has also severely impacted the region’s infrastructure. The destruction of medical facilities hinders the ability of healthcare workers to provide essential services, further endangering the lives of those in the affected areas.
International organizations and humanitarian groups are expressing deep concern over the escalating crisis. The situation underscores the urgent need for a resolution to prevent further loss of life and to address the pressing humanitarian needs of the people in Gaza.
