The World Health Organisation says nearly two-thirds of Gaza’s health facilities have ceased functioning.

Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been running out of food, water and medicine since Israel sealed off the territory following the attack on towns in southern Israel on October 7 by Hamas. "In addition to the hospitals that have had to close due to damage and attacks, six hospitals across the Gaza Strip have already shut down due to lack of fuel. Unless vital fuel and additional health supplies are urgently delivered into Gaza, thousands of vulnerable patients risk death or medical complications as critical services shut down due to lack of power.
She said UN negotiators were “very, very far away” from getting an agreement to send the sustained aid into Gaza that is needed.
