"The United Nations says Israel has deliberately been targeting Gaza's health facilities and killing medical personnel during the war. Israel's more than two-year genocidal war has shattered Gazas health system, as hospitals and the medical personnel who tend to the thousands of wounded patients inside them continue to be targeted by Israeli attacks. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, more than 1,700 healthcare workers including doctors, nurses and paramedics have been killed since Israel's war on Gaza began."
"Supporting Gaza's decimated health system, medical students have become front-line healers, performing lifesaving work even before they have earned their degrees. They are filling the void left by the many doctors who have been killed, and by others left exhausted from round-the-clock shifts to treat the many wounded under severely dangerous and resource-depleted conditions. The war in Gaza has rewritten the rules of learning, of healing, and of growing up,"
United Nations investigators say Israeli forces deliberately targeted Gaza's hospitals and medical staff, causing widespread destruction of the enclave's healthcare infrastructure. Gaza's Health Ministry reports more than 1,700 healthcare workers — including doctors, nurses and paramedics — killed since the war began. Israeli attacks and a blockade have blocked essential medical supplies and equipment despite a month-old ceasefire. Medical students have stepped in as front-line caregivers, performing surgeries and emergency care before graduation and replacing killed or exhausted professionals. The Islamic University was bombed on October 10, 2023, yet medical training and practice have continued amid severe resource shortages and danger.
