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

*مستشفى كمال عدوان*

تعاني مستشفى كمال عدوان من حصار خانق، حيث تم إحراق أقسام العمليات والجراحة والمختبر والصيانة ووحدات الإسعاف والمخازن بالكامل، وقد بدأ الحريق ينتشر الآن إلى جميع المباني.

يعمل جيش الاحتلال على نقل المرضى والمصابين بشكل إجباري وتحت تهديد السلاح وفوهات البنادق إلى المستشفى الإندونيسي، الذي يفتقر إلى المستلزمات الطبية والمياه والأدوية، وحتى الكهرباء والمولدات.

هناك مرضى مهددون بالموت في أي لحظة نتيجة الظروف القاسية.

Remarks by Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General at the Third Meeting of the Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution

Foreign Minister Barthe Eide,

Prime Minister Mustapha,

Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,

In just two weeks, two laws aimed at ending UNRWA’s operations in the occupied Palestinian territory will enter into force.

Full implementation of the laws will ban UNRWA from operating in the “sovereign territory of Israel” and ban contact between Israeli authorities and the Agency.

Press briefing by UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini

This morning, I briefed the Security Council in a closed session.

I welcomed the ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza.

I joined the Secretary-General in calling on all parties to ensure the deal is fully implemented.

We need rapid, unhindered and uninterrupted humanitarian access to respond to the tremendous suffering in Gaza.

A ceasefire is only a starting point.

UNRWA is ready to support the international response by scaling up aid delivery.
