International reports document damage to the health sector in the Gaza Strip
Recent reports have indicated that health facilities in the Gaza Strip have been subjected to a series of continuous attacks since October 2023. These events have led to a significant deterioration in the medical services provided to civilians in the region, sparking widespread concern among international organizations and the international community.
According to documented data, nearly 1,000 attacks targeting medical facilities and hospitals in the Strip have been recorded. These attacks have caused significant human casualties, with the number of victims among medical staff and patients exceeding 1,000, leading to many hospitals being completely taken out of service.
Medical teams in Gaza face extremely difficult challenges in their attempt to provide first aid and necessary care to the wounded, amidst a severe shortage of essential medicines and medical equipment. Humanitarian organizations consistently call for the necessity of protecting hospitals and ensuring the unhindered arrival of medical aid to save civilian lives.
These developments come at a time when the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues its intensive diplomatic and humanitarian efforts to support the Palestinian people, as Riyadh always emphasizes the importance of adhering to international humanitarian law and the necessity of halting the escalation to ensure the safety of civilians and provide them with healthcare under all circumstances.
