UN agencies sounded the alarm Monday as Israel's military actions in Gaza have pushed healthcare, aid access, and civilian safety to the brink. Hospitals now resemble battlegrounds, with Kamal Adwan Hospital forced to close after an Israeli raid and the detention of its director, whose whereabouts remain unknown 🏥🔴. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called for urgent protection of medical workers and patients, sharing on X that even critical care transfers faced risks: \"Four patients were detained during the transfer… their rights must be upheld.\"
Chaos deepened as humanitarian teams reported delivering supplies to a non-functional Indonesian Hospital without water or electricity. UN missions face constant roadblocks—only 1 of 150 aid attempts since October has succeeded, leaving families stranded in winter conditions ❄️. OCHA revealed that over 60% of recent aid movements were blocked, while armed looters hijacked convoys in the south. \"Aid workers shouldn’t need to break sieges to save lives,\" stressed UN officials.
With Gaza’s health system collapsing and survival basics like food and shelter vanishing, Tedros urged global attention: \"Hospitals are not targets.\" Yet attacks on Al-Ahli and Al-Wafa Hospitals continue, leaving civilians with dwindling options ⚠️. As the crisis escalates, the UN warns: Gaza’s survival infrastructure is being dismantled—one raid, one denied aid truck, at a time.
