Israel's war has devastated Gaza's health system with repeated and deliberate attacks targeting hospitals, staff, and patients. Most facilities have been damaged beyond use, and the need for medical evacuations is greater than ever. More than 111,000 Palestinians are injured across Gaza, and 12,500 of them need to travel for urgent treatment. At least 25 thousand children have been wounded, some with irreversible conditions. More than 12,000 cancer patients are facing the risk of death because of acute shortages of supplies. And at least one million children require immediate mental health and psychological support.
Dr Muhammad Zaqout, the Director General of Hospitals in the Gaza Strip, joins Al Jazeera’s live from Khan Younis.
