The UN Human Rights Office has condemned Israeli attacks on hospitals in Gaza, stating they have pushed the region’s healthcare system to the brink of collapse. A report highlighted 136 strikes on 27 hospitals between October 2023 and June 2024, causing significant casualties among medical staff and destroying vital infrastructure. The UN stressed that attacks on healthcare facilities may constitute war crimes, especially if hospitals are being used to shield military operations. The situation has worsened maternal and child health, with many women and newborns unable to access essential care. The UN called for independent investigations into these incidents.
