Israeli Airstrikes Kill Dozens, Damage Health Facilities Gaza Strip

In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have caused significant casualties and damage to healthcare infrastructure, including the killing of medical personnel and the partial destruction of hospitals and clinics. Medication shortages, power outages, and limited fuel supplies have severely impacted the treatment of chronic conditions like diabetes and the provision of prosthetic care, with many rehabilitation facilities operating only partially or not at all. The Nasser Medical Complex was hit twice, resulting in the deaths of 22 people including healthcare workers and journalists, with many others injured. The ongoing conflict has placed immense pressure on humanitarian and medical services amid a growing humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, nearly half the population requires humanitarian aid, with millions of returnees overwhelming fragile health systems already challenged by disease outbreaks and psychosocial distress. Both regions highlight the urgent need for sustained humanitarian assistance and improved healthcare delivery amidst complex emergencies.
