Israeli strikes hit more than 400 healthcare facilities in Gaza, killing nearly 700 medical personnel, and destroying or rendering inoperable most of the Strip's medical infrastructure, according to a World Health Organization report.

According to the report issued by the organization regarding statistics on the impact on medical facilities in Gaza during the first five months of the barbaric Israeli war on the Strip.

The World Health Organization recorded 410 attacks that killed 685 people and injured 900 others.

Almost all hospitals in Gaza were damaged. 24 out of 36 hospitals in the Strip are not operational.

A panel of doctors who spoke to the United Nations on Tuesday explained that Palestinian medical staff had to re-establish many hospitals after Israeli raids or strikes.

In addition, 60 out of 74 primary health care centers are not functioning. Israel also targeted ambulances, resulting in 50 vehicles being damaged.

It is noteworthy that paramedics are not the only first responders targeted by the Israeli occupation army.

A number of members of the police force were also killed in Gaza, and before the police members were targeted by the occupation army, the police forces escorted aid throughout the Strip.

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, explained on Thursday that Israel must allow more aid to enter Gaza through land crossings to prevent famine. He added: "The future of an entire generation is in serious danger."

“Recent efforts to deliver food by air and sea are welcome, but only expanding land crossings will enable large-scale aid delivery to prevent famine,” Tedros said.

He added: "Once again, we ask Israel to open more crossings and accelerate the entry and delivery of water, food, medical supplies and other humanitarian aid into and inside Gaza."

However, several doctors in Gaza recently said that aid cannot be distributed in the Strip without a ceasefire.

Tedros expressed his regret that the World Health Organization faced this reality this week when an aid convoy scheduled for a hospital in Gaza City was cancelled.

He said: “A planned mission to Al-Shifa had to be canceled today due to insecurity... Once again, we call for the protection of health care and not to militarize it.”
