“Gaza needs to be flooded by food. It needs to be flooded by water, essential medicines and medical supplies and a regular flow of fuel. And above all, of course, we need a ceasefire – and we need it now.”

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.

WHO Director-General Ghebreyesus stated in a press release that the situation in Gaza, which is facing intense Israeli attacks & a suffocating blockade has “surpassed the stage of #Disaster.

All hypotheses on how the COVID-19 pandemic began remain open, the World Health Organization said Friday, following an inconclusive four-year investigation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/28/world/science-health/who-covid-origins-report/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #who #diseases #health#covid19
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.
