"Planned Parenthood is warning patients it can no longer accept Medicaid insurance & in one region says it can’t provide services to Medicaid recipients at all, even if the patient doesn’t use Medicaid to pay. And lawmakers in at least five states are planning special sessions to revamp their already-enacted budgets & determine how to handle the cuts, including what cuts they should enact and how to administer the new Medicaid work requirement."

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah has warned its fuel will run out within hours, putting the lives of hundreds of patients at risk.
The hospital said its shutdown would cut off healthcare services for half a million people in the central governorate.

The documentary chronicles Israel’s targeting and destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and medics, 1,500 of whom have been killed.
It's a 2025 documentary on doctors working during the #Gaza war, detailing the killings and #torture of #healthcare workers and attacks on #hospitals by the Israel Defence Forces (#IDF) during the conflict.

Under a total Israeli blockade and relentless bombardment, Gaza’s healthcare system is devastated. This week, the last dialysis machines at Al-Shifa Medical Complex were forced to shut down. With no fuel left to power them, hundreds of patients now face death, not from injury, but from deliberate deprivation.
Under a total Israeli blockade and relentless bombardment, Gaza’s healthcare system is devastated. This week, the last dialysis machines at Al-Shifa Medical Complex were forced to shut down. With no fuel left to power them, hundreds of patients now face death, not from injury, but from deliberate deprivation.
According to health officials, more than 400 dialysis patients, nearly 40% of Gaza’s dialysis community, have already died since the war began. They were not killed in airstrikes; they were killed by "Israel's" policy, by blockade, by the refusal to allow fuel through the gates.
The World Health Organization has raised urgent alarms, highlighting the complete exhaustion of kidney medication supplies and an acute shortage of dialysis equipment. Yet the borders remain sealed, the fuel remains blocked, and the machines remain off.
Last month, Israeli occupation forces destroyed the Noura al-Kaabi dialysis center in northern #Gaza. The facility was affiliated with the Indonesian Hospital, located in the northern part of the Strip, which has been repeatedly besieged by Israeli forces who have opened fire on anyone moving within its grounds.

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.
