While people start to look on malnourished and starving faces and bodies of Palestinians occupation continues the crime against health services.

"The Israeli military has ordered the forced evacuation of al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, the only remaining partially functioning hospital in the area, despite it being overwhelmed and operating under dire conditions amid the ongoing Israeli assault, the Ministry of Health said Thursday.

“Al-Awda is the only remaining partially functioning hospital in north Gaza,” Stephane Dujarric told reporters.

Between 1 and 22 May 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) documented 29 Israeli attacks on #healthcare in the Gaza Strip, further disrupting access to health care and overburdening #hospitals that remain partially operational.

According to #WHO, at least 94 per cent of hospitals in the #Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed.
