Approximately two years since the commencement of the Israeli military offensive in Gaza, both Gaza City’s hospitals have been forced to temporarily cease operations. The Gaza Health Ministry reports this as a direct consequence of escalating Israeli military actions. The situation reflects a heightened security situation and a strategic effort to dismantle Hamas infrastructure. While the exact extent of the impact remains to be determined, the hospitals are currently operating at reduced capacities, limiting the availability of medical care for Gaza’s civilian population. The Ministry stated that continued operational limitations are necessary to ensure the safety of medical staff and prevent potential casualties.
