The United Nations warns Israeli attacks on hospitals have left Gaza’s medical system on the brink of total collapse, with a catastrophic effect on Palestinians’ access to healthcare. The new report by the U.N. human rights office documents 136 Israeli attacks on 39 medical facilities. It was released just days after Israeli forces raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza last Friday, destroying much of the facility and arresting staff and patients at gunpoint. There are growing calls internationally for Israel to release the hospital’s director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, after he was abducted by Israeli forces and reportedly taken to a military detention camp with his leg badly injured. Amnesty International said on social media, “Hospitals and health workers are not targets. The international community, especially Israel’s allies, must act to bring an end to Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.” This comes as at least seven Palestinians, including six babies, living in displaced camps in Gaza have died from the cold, and relentless winter rain storms have flooded thousands of tents of forcibly displaced people. Sabreen Abu Shanab is a displaced mother of three struggling to keep her family warm and fed in a tattered tent encampment in Deir al-Balah.

Sabreen Abu Shanab: “It rained. And although it was mild and not heavy rain, look what happened to us! We were flooded. The wooden poles of the tent broke. We barely fixed them. The water seeped inside and into the mattresses and my children’s clothes. They were sleeping and soaked wet to their underwear. I swear, everything is soaked — the blankets, the pillows, everything.”
