Al Mayadeen English
Here are the latest critical health data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health's weekly emergency report during "Israel's" ongoing assault on Gaza, for the week of May 18-24, 2025 The report documents 574 martyrs and 1,770 injuries in just one week, bringing total casualties since March 18 to over 14,500. Healthcare infrastructure remains under severe strain with systematic attacks on medical facilities, critical shortages of medical supplies, and a devastating malnutrition crisis affecting over 60,000 children under 5. With only 19 hospitals partially functional across Gaza, the humanitarian catastrophe continues to deepen as essential medical services operate at minimum capacity under impossible conditions.
