The healthcare system in Gaza has long faced numerous challenges due to political instability, economic hardships and ongoing conflict. Even before the recent war that began on October 7, 2023, the system was already under tremendous strain. The blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt since 2007 had severely restricted the import of medical supplies and equipment, leading to chronic shortages. Now, with the current war, medical supplies are scarce and badly needed, and healthcare centers have been decimated by bombs and violence – all hampering the delivery of essential services
