Abstract:
Healthcare has been a primary casualty of the recent conflict in Gaza, a 365-square-kilometre territory of 2 million residents. By the time a tenuous ceasefire agreement was reached in late January 2025, after more than 500 days of bombardment and heavy artillery attacks, at least 47 354 Palestinians had been killed and 111 563 others injured. More than 92% of the housing units had been destroyed or damaged, and practically the entire population had been displaced, requiring emergency shelter and essential household items.
