By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The World Health Organization (WHO) said that since the war began in Gaza, hospitals and medical facilities have been attacked almost 600 times.
According to Yahoo, 613 people have died within Occupied Palestinian Territory since Hamas attacked Israel October 7.
WHO’s spokesperson, Christian Lindmeier, said in a statement, “ongoing reduction of humanitarian space plus the continuing attacks on healthcare are pushing the people of Gaza to breaking point.
Data from WHO shows that 304 attacks occurred on health care facilities in the Gaza strip and 286 in the West Bank.
UNICEF also continues to call for an immediate ceasefire raising the alarm that children and families in Gaza continue to be killed and hurt in fighting, and they’re also facing risks from preventable diseases as well as lack of food and water.
“Children in Gaza are caught in a nightmare that worsens with every passing day,” UNICEF Executive Director, Catherine Russell, said.
“All children and civilians must be protected from violence and have access to basic services and supplies,” Russell added.
Nearly 1.4 million are sheltering in 155 U.N. Gaza Strip facilities.
