The healthcare system in Gaza is facing an unprecedented crisis, as described by Munir Al-Barsh, the Director General of the Ministry of Health in the Palestinian coastal enclave. With a population exceeding two million, Gaza’s hospitals are grappling with severe shortages of essential resources, including medicines and medical supplies. Al-Barsh revealed that 84% of basic medicines and 40% of emergency medicines are unavailable, while the lack of medical supplies has surpassed 71%. Critical items such as gauze and medical solutions are in critically short supply, with reserves expected to last only a month. This scarcity is severely impeding the delivery of primary healthcare services. Additionally, the healthcare infrastructure is collapsing due to inconsistent fuel supplies, which are essential for powering health facilities. Communications systems have failed, and laboratories are nearly entirely shut down. Despite a recent truce and Israel’s commitment to allow aid, only five trucks carrying medical supplies enter Gaza weekly—a starkly insufficient amount to address the dire needs of the population. The situation underscores the urgent need for international intervention to prevent a full-scale humanitarian disaster.
