Gaza hospitals face collapse amid renewed Israeli airstrikes and attacks on medical facilities and workers

A United Nations (U.N.) report accuses Israel of imposing "collective punishment" on Palestinians in retaliation. The report states that the Israeli siege has severely hindered the functioning of hospitals in Gaza, preventing them from receiving essential supplies such as food, fuel, water, and medical equipment. This has had severe consequences, as Dr. Husam Abu Safiyeh, the director of Kamal Adwan hospital, notes that his hospital is struggling to comply with an Israeli army order to evacuate all patients within 24 hours, citing the severity of their conditions.
