Gaza still has no hospital operating at full capacity: Israeli rights group

Middle East MonitorOct 8, 2026

A recent report by Physicians for Human Rights-Israel highlights the ongoing health crisis in Gaza, nearly a year after a ceasefire was established. Despite some hospitals resuming partial operations, none are functioning at full capacity, leaving the healthcare system severely compromised. The report indicates a critical shortage of intensive care beds, medicines, and essential medical supplies, resulting in thousands of patients being denied life-saving treatments.

The situation in Gaza remains dire, with the health system struggling to recover from the impacts of prolonged conflict. The lack of adequate medical facilities continues to pose significant risks to the population's health and well-being. The report underscores the urgent need for international attention and support to address these humanitarian challenges.

As the anniversary of the ceasefire approaches, the findings serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by Gazans in accessing necessary healthcare. The international community is called upon to take action to alleviate the suffering and improve the health conditions in the region.
