This article looks at the effects of armed conflict on healthcare systems in Gaza at the intersection of international humanitarian aid, settler colonialism and the ethics of war. Since October 7, 2023, there has been a systemic assault on the health services in Gaza, rooted in colonial expansion. I begin with an overview of human rights and the concept of medical neutrality. This is followed by biopolitics within Gaza and the contradictions in international law regarding the ethics of war. Explained through the lens of historical revisionism, postcolonial theory and biopolitics, I attempt to highlight how healthcare systems are increasingly becoming targets of armed conflict in Gaza as a war strategy.
这篇文章探讨了武装冲突对加沙地区医疗保健系统的影响，涉及国际人道主义援助、定居点殖民主义和战争伦理等多个方面。自 2023 年 10 月 7 日以来，针对加沙地区卫生服务的系统性攻击已经展开，其根源在于殖民扩张。我首先概述了人权和医疗中立的概念。接着，我探讨了加沙地区的生物政治学以及国际法在战争伦理方面的矛盾。通过历史修正主义、后殖民理论和生物政治学的视角，我试图强调加沙地区的医疗保健系统如何日益成为武装冲突的目标，成为一种战争策略。
