Only 14 of 36 Gaza hospitals partially functioning: WHO

Just 14 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are partially functioning and only a third of 176 primary care facilities work, Hanan Balkhy, WHO regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean, which oversees Gaza, has said. Speaking at a media briefing, Balkhy said Gaza has been struggling with “dire shortages” of electricity, clean water, medicine, broken equipment and damaged infrastructure in those health facilities still working. “Some facilities have been hit and rehabilitated and hit once more,” she added.
