The World Health Organization issued a statement stating that the health sector in Gaza has been attacked. According to statistics, hundreds of people have been killed and injured since October 7, and there have been more than 80 attacks on medical institutions in the local area. The statement also said that since Hamas launched its first attack, 28 ambulances have been damaged and 36 medical facilities have been affected.
The head of UNICEF has issued a stern warning about Gaza’s water supply problems, stressing that the situation is on the verge of becoming a disaster. The person in charge pointed out that the small amount of clean water remaining in Gaza is rapidly being depleted. More than two million people are in urgent need of water. It is estimated that 55% of the water supply infrastructure needs repair or repair. All six wastewater treatment plants in Gaza are currently inoperable due to lack of fuel or electricity. Unless clean water supplies are restored, more civilians may die from dehydration or waterborne diseases.
The head of UNICEF also warned that during the conflict, more than 420 children were killed or injured every day in Gaza, and the horrific trauma experienced by Palestinian and Israeli children could have lifelong consequences.
