The healthcare system in Gaza is on the brink of collapse. According to reports, only 13 out of 36 hospitals in the region are functioning, and even then, only partially due to severe shortages of fuel, medicines, and essential medical supplies. The hospitals that remain operational are overwhelmed with patients and suffer from a critical lack of basic medical equipment, severely hampering the provision of necessary medical care. The deteriorating health situation poses a significant risk to the population, especially as infectious diseases spread due to declining sanitation and overcrowded shelters.
Food security in Gaza is in a dire state, with 90% of the population relying on humanitarian aid. The World Food Programme has indicated that military operations and the ongoing blockade have severely disrupted food distribution. Fuel shortages and unsafe roads have led to reduced food rations provided by humanitarian organizations, exacerbating the food crisis in the region. Estimates suggest that the food security situation will worsen unless additional crossings are opened and the necessary fuel is provided to operate facilities.
The housing situation in Gaza is severely compromised, with reports indicating that 60% of residential buildings and infrastructure have been destroyed or damaged due to continuous bombardment. This destruction has displaced approximately 1.7 million people internally, forcing them to live in temporary or overcrowded shelters that lack basic health and safety standards. Humanitarian organizations warn that the housing situation in Gaza requires urgent intervention to rebuild destroyed homes and essential infrastructure.
Children in Gaza are among the most affected by the humanitarian crisis. According to UNICEF reports, approximately three thousand children in the region suffer from acute malnutrition, putting them at risk of death due to a lack of food and medical care. Additionally, the harsh living conditions, lack of education, and absence of basic services negatively impact their physical and mental development.
