About the Platform

The platform "Documenting the Targeting and Destruction of the Health Sector in the Gaza Strip" presents accurate and detailed information about the Israeli assault on health during the genocidal war. This includes data on the attacks on healthcare facilities and health workers who have been killed, abducted, tortured, and maimed by Israeli forces during the genocide, and relevant statements by international organizations and healthcare institutions. These are complemented by original analysis by researchers and authors covering a range of issues in the targeting of the health sector, through which Israeli occupation forces have created a "war biosphere". Read more

Injuries and Amputation During the Gaza Genocide

The Israeli Genocide in Gaza has led to an unprecedented health and humanitarian manufactured disaster, with an overwhelming number of injuries and amputations. The deliberate targeting of civilians and medical infrastructure has led to the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system, leaving tens of thousands without access to critical medical care. The immense number of injuries and amputations, described as the highest in the world,[1] has far-reaching consequences.
