Israeli military operations have struck or damaged the vast majority of Gaza's 36 hospitals since October 2023, with the WHO documenting over 735 attacks on healthcare facilities that have killed more than 900 people and left only 17-19 hospitals partially functional. The strikes, which Israel says target Hamas command infrastructure beneath medical facilities, have triggered a cascading public health emergency — including surging maternal mortality, malnutrition deaths, and disease outbreaks — while international legal experts and investigative bodies debate whether the legal threshold for attacking protected medical sites has been met.
