During the Israel–Hamas war, the healthcare system of Gaza was destroyed by Israeli attacks on hospitals and health facilities, killing of healthcare workers, and blockade of medical supplies from entering Gaza.[1] The resulting collapse of the healthcare system was part of a broader humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip caused by the war.[2]

The hospitals faced a lack of fuel due to the Israeli siege and relied on backup generators for the first two weeks of the war.[3] By 23 October 2023, Gaza hospitals began shutting down as they ran out of fuel, starting with the Indonesia Hospital.[4] When hospitals lost power completely, multiple premature babies in NICUs died.[5][6] By the end of May 2024, both the World Health Organization and International Rescue Committee reported only one-third of Gaza's hospitals remained at least partially operational.[7][8]

Numerous medical staffers were killed, and ambulances, health institutions, medical headquarters, and multiple hospitals were destroyed.[9] The Medecins Sans Frontieres said scores of ambulances and medical facilities were damaged or destroyed.[10][11] By late-October, the Gaza Health Ministry stated the healthcare system had "totally collapsed",[12] while on January 13 out of Gaza's 36 hospitals reportedly remained partially functional.[13] By May 2024, the World Health Organization documented 450 Israeli attacks on Gaza's healthcare system.[14]
