General updates - as of 11 June 2025
• Gaza Strip
• Between 18 March and 11 June 2025, following the resumption of hostilities, the Ministry of Health (MoH) reported at least 4924 deaths and 15 780 injuries across the Gaza Strip. At least 224 people been reported killed and 1858 injured, seeking food and other aid.
• Mass casualty management protocols have been activated almost daily at several hospitals, including Al-Shifa,
Al-Aqsa, Nasser Medical Complex, and various field hospitals, in response to frequent mass casualty incidents, reportedly linked to food distribution sites and routes.
• Intensified attacks on health care and displacement orders – especially following the collapse of ceasefire in mid-March 2025 – continue to severely disrupt the delivery of supplies and access to essential health services.
-
Between 24 May and 11 June, the number of functional hospitals across the Gaza Strip reduced from 20 to 17 as Al-Awda Jabalia, Haifa and Hamad Hospitals became non-operational due to intensified hostilities and security concerns.
-
The Health Cluster reported a significant decline in the number of functioning community-level medical points, dropping from 144 to 126 during the same period, due to displacement orders and ongoing insecurity.
-
All hospitals and primary health care centers (PHCCs) in North Gaza are currently out of service, with health services provided through one partially functioning medical point. In Rafah, health services are provided through the ICRC Field Hospital and two partially functioning medical points.
-
While Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis continues to provide services to the patients remaining within the hospital, the facility is currently completely inaccessible due to ongoing military operations in the vicinity and is unable to admit new cases.
-
With the European Gaza Hospital out of service, hostilities in the vicinity of Nasser Medical Complex (NMC) in Khan Younis threaten the continuity of critical services, including intensive care unit (ICU), hemodialysis services, and chemotherapy:
◦ NMC is currently the sole provider of ICU services in Khan Younis, with over 40 patients admitted, including 30 who are intubated.
◦ The hemodialysis unit at NMC, equipped with 26 functioning machines, is currently serving more than 200 patients.
- Between 22 May and 12 June 2025, nine displacement orders were issued, impacting areas across North Gaza,
Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis governorates. Within the designated displacement zones are at least two hospitals (Al-Amal and Al-Ahli Arab), seven primary health care centers (PHCCs), and 26 medical points. An additional 68 health service points lie within a one-kilometer radius of these zones, further jeopardizing access to health care across the Gaza Strip.
• The MoH reported severe shortages in essential medications and supplies in May 2025, with zero stock levels at 47% and 65%, respectively. Of the 622 essential medicines, 292 have less than a one-month supply, impacting chemotherapy and blood diseases (64%), primary care (53%), maternal and child health (51%), and vaccination services (47%). Meanwhile, 649 of 1006 essential consumables are out of stock, critically affecting open-heart and catheterization (100%), orthopedic (87%), ophthalmic (86%), and hemodialysis services (57%).
• The MoH has issued an urgent call for immediate action to facilitate the entry of blood products and supplies, as current stocks are at critically low levels. Blood donation campaigns in the Gaza Strip face significant challenges due to worsening malnutrition and deteriorating security conditions.
• Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI), Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD), Acute Jaundice Syndrome (AJS) and Acute Bloody Diarrhea (ABD) remain the most common communicable diseases (see Annex).
-
Between weeks 19 and 22, the reported data shows a 12% decrease in ARI (from over 81 700 to 71 700) in Gaza, compared to the previous 28-day period. Similar trends were observed across all five governorates. Despite the expected seasonal drop, it remains the most reported condition.
-
Despite a drop in the number of consultations, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) related diseases including AWD, AJS and ABD showed increasing trends during the same period (4%, 120% and 7% respectively), exacerbated by crowding and deteriorating sanitary conditions during warmer months.
