The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) today announced that only ten of its 26 health centres in the Gaza Strip are operational.
“Over 1,000 attacks on healthcare facilities in occupied Palestinian territory have been documented by @WHO,” the UNRWA stated on X.
“In #Gaza only 10 out of 26 @UNRWA Health Centres are operational,” the agency lamented.
“Our teams continue to risk their lives every day to provide medical care to families,” it added while calling for a ceasefire.
Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since October.
More than 38,800 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and more than 89,000 injured, according to local health authorities.
Over nine months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
