A Year After Ceasefire, Gaza Healthcare Faces Continued Collapse
· World · Al Jazeera, The Independent
Medical services across Gaza remain under severe strain one year after the announcement of a ceasefire on October 10 last year. Israeli military bombardment continues to produce new traumatic injuries, with more than 1,470 people killed since the ceasefire began. Medical Aid for Palestinians has been forced to suspend operations in parts of Gaza due to deteriorating security conditions. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities heavily restrict essential medical supplies, blocking treatments for chronic conditions, cancer care, and prosthetics for amputees.
