UPDATE 02/07/2024: DEATH TOLL IN GAZA STANDS AT 37,900 SINCE OCTOBER 7TH 2023.
Since Israel’s military assault on Gaza began in October, 500 healthcare workers have been killed, averaging two deaths per day. This represents 2.5% of Gaza’s healthcare workforce. More healthcare workers have died in Gaza during this period than in all global conflicts in 2021 and 2022 combined.
Systematic attacks by Israeli forces are worsening Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. Over 37,000 Palestinians have been killed and 86,000 injured, with 10,000 presumed dead under rubble. Palestinian healthcare workers face indiscriminate and targeted attacks, hindering their ability to provide care. The 500th health worker killed was Hani Al Ja’afarwi, Director of Emergency and Ambulance Services, during an airstrike on 23 June.
Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan reports that healthcare workers wear civilian clothing outside hospitals to avoid being targeted. Rohan Talbot from MAP emphasises that attacks on healthcare workers violate international law and demand independent investigations.
The UN has found serious violations by the Israeli military against Gaza’s healthcare workers, with reports of arbitrary detentions and deaths under torture. Since October, over 460 attacks on healthcare facilities have left Gaza’s healthcare system near collapse, with no fully functioning hospitals and 19 out of service.
