The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a dire state of Gaza's health system, warning it can't endure further losses of ambulances or hospital beds. Christian Lindmeier, WHO spokesman, described the situation as "horrible beyond belief," emphasizing that only 14 of Gaza's 36 hospitals are operational. The ongoing conflict has devastated vast areas, displacing 80% of the population, facing severe shortages of essentials. Lindmeier pleaded for a ceasefire, citing patients bleeding on the floor and trauma wards resembling battlefields. A planned medical convoy had to be suspended due to security concerns, amplifying the urgency of humanitarian intervention in Gaza.
