The ongoing conflict in Gaza has led to severe destruction of the health system and eventually its collapse. Moreover, multiple attacks on health workers were reported which led to obstacles in service delivery. The conflict has led to further humanitarian crises including shortage of food, water sanitation, and hygiene, and outbreaks of infectious diseases. About 2 million of Gaza's population are internally displaced with the majority in Rafah. Rafah's population has increased by 500% in less than four months. This has led to acute food severity in Gaza for the whole of the population. Moreover, the cut of UNRWA aid is expected to further expand the humanitarian crisis as over 2 million of the population depends on the aid.
加沙地带持续的冲突导致卫生系统遭到严重破坏，最终陷入崩溃。此外，据报道，卫生工作者多次遭到袭击，这给服务提供造成了障碍。冲突还引发了更多人道主义危机，包括食品、水、环境卫生和个人卫生短缺，以及传染病爆发。加沙地带约200万人口流离失所，其中大多数集中在拉法。拉法的人口在不到四个月的时间里增长了500%。这导致加沙全体居民面临严重的粮食危机。此外，预计近东救济工程处援助的削减将进一步扩大人道主义危机，因为超过200万人口依赖该援助。
