The health crisis will inevitably lead to health consequences, including the cessation of life-saving procedures such as cardiac catheterization, interventional surgeries, and cesarean sections.

Hospitals in Gaza are under severe pressure due to a shortage of fuel, risking the shutdown of essential services and endangering the lives of the wounded and sick, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

Although the final death toll is uncertain, the number of martyrs in Gaza has exceeded 1,200, and the count is expected to rise further as people remain trapped beneath targeted buildings and ambulances struggle to reach them amid heavy fire.

Regrettably, this crisis will inevitably lead to health consequences, including the cessation of life-saving procedures such as cardiac catheterization, interventional surgeries, and cesarean sections. Furthermore, laboratory and blood bank services in 58 facilities are at risk of disruption.

Gaza's Health Ministry has declared that hospitals in the Gaza Strip are operating at full capacity, with patients even "lying on the floor" due to the high number of injuries resulting from the severe occupation aggression. They have further warned that health services in Gaza have reached a critical stage.

The United Nations announced today, Thursday, that more than 338,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in Gaza.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated that the number of displaced people in the densely populated Gaza Strip, with a population of 2.3 million, increased by approximately 75,000 additional people on  Wednesday, reaching a total of 338,934 displaced individuals.

The statement by the UN pointed out that sanitary facilities, serving more than one million people, have been targeted by air raids, leading to the accumulation of solid waste in the streets, and posing health risks.
