⚠️ Gaza's healthcare system is crumbling under the weight of the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict, now in its 68th day. The World Health Organization (WHO) revealed Tuesday that only 11 hospitals – less than a third – remain partially functional in the besieged enclave. 'We need these hospitals protected – they’re lifelines,' a WHO official pleaded during a press briefing.
🚨 The agency accused Israeli forces of detaining and mistreating medical staff during a recent emergency mission, calling the alleged actions “unacceptable” in a sharply-worded statement. Over 1.8 million displaced Gazans now face catastrophic shortages of medicines, clean water, and safe shelter as temperatures drop.
💡 Key numbers:
• 2.3 million residents in Gaza
• 23,000+ reported deaths since conflict began
• 85% of Gaza's population displaced
🔍 Why it matters: With no ceasefire in sight, international aid groups warn the humanitarian crisis could spiral further. Stay tuned for updates. ✨
