Health System Collapses in Gaza Amid Ongoing Drug Shortages
Healthcare services have come to a standstill in the Gaza Strip under Israeli blockade and attacks, as hospitals struggle with shortages of fuel and medical supplies.
In Gaza, which remains under Israel's blockade and attacks after nearly a thousand days of war, the health system has completely collapsed amid severe shortages of medicine, fuel, and medical supplies.
Major Crisis in the Health System
Officials stating that the situation in Gaza remains extremely dire point out that there is a severe shortage of medicine in the region and major deficiencies in healthcare services. It is clearly evident that the health system is still in a state of collapse after nearly a thousand days of war.
No Hospitals Left in the Northern Region
Not a single hospital remains operational in northern Gaza. It is reported that more than 55 percent of the population in the camps has contracted lice and scabies infections.
Hospitals Suspending Operations
The Kuwaiti Field Hospital and Al-Wafa Hospital were forced to completely suspend their operations due to ongoing shortages of fuel and spare parts.
Months Without Aid Deliveries
It is emphasized that no aid has been delivered to Gaza since November 2025, and urgent support is needed due to the increase in respiratory infections and diseases during the winter months.
