The Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip from 27 December 2008 to 19 January 2009 was characterised by gross, unprecedented human rights violations, which were the result of a deliberate political decision to overlook the loss of civilian lives in order to save those of Israeli soldiers. These violations included attacking medical personnel and civilians, impeding emergency medical evacuations, restricting health care for the civilian population, preventing referral to care outside the Gaza Strip and jeopardising distribution of medical supplies and food. This article will focus on the right to health of Palestinians under Israeli occupation by presenting case studies that have been collected by Physicians for Human Rights-Israel. It will emphasise how the Palestinian medical system has been stretched to its breaking point, severely and negatively affecting the provision of medical services; the consequences of denying patients referral to care outside the Gaza Strip; and other severe violations of human rights. It will conclude by reiterating that only the withdrawal of Israeli occupation from Palestinian land can guarantee the right to health of Palestinians.
2008 年 12 月 27 日至 2009 年 1 月 19 日，以色列对加沙地带的袭击具有严重的、前所未有的侵犯人权特征，这是为了拯救以色列士兵而故意做出的政治决定，无视平民生命损失。这些侵犯人权行为包括袭击医疗人员和平民、阻碍紧急医疗后送、限制平民医疗保健、阻止向加沙地带以外转诊以及危及医疗用品和食品的分发。本文将通过展示以色列人权组织收集的案例研究，重点关注以色列占领下的巴勒斯坦人的健康权。它将强调巴勒斯坦医疗系统如何被推到了崩溃的边缘，严重和消极地影响了医疗服务的提供；拒绝患者向加沙地带以外转诊的后果；以及其他严重侵犯人权的行为。最后重申，只有以色列从巴勒斯坦土地上撤军，才能保障巴勒斯坦人的健康权。
