Gaza Healthcare System on Brink of Collapse: Israel's Attacks BlamedA recent report by the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) has revealed a shocking trend of deadly attacks on hospitals in Gaza, perpetrated by Israel. The report highlights the devastating impact of these attacks on Palestinians' access to health and medical care, pushing the healthcare system to the very brink of collapse.War Crimes and Crimes Against HumanityThe OHCHR report raises serious concerns about Israel's compliance with international law, specifically regarding the protection of hospitals during warfare. As outlined in international humanitarian law, medical personnel and hospitals are protected from attack as long as they do not engage in harmful activities or facilitate such actions by others.During the period covered by the report, at least 136 strikes on at least 27 hospitals and 12 other medical facilities were carried out, resulting in significant casualties among doctors, nurses, medics, and civilians. This indiscriminate targeting of medical facilities is a war crime, as is intentionally directing attacks against hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are treated.Intentional Targeting of Medical Staff and PatientsThe report also notes that several of these acts may amount to crimes against humanity if committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population. Furthermore, it appears that an MK 83 munition was used in the January 10 airstrike on Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, killing at least 12 people and injuring 35.Encroachment on Humanitarian LawThe report finds that another feature of these attacks has been the apparent targeting of people inside hospitals. This encroachment on humanitarian law is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about Israel's commitment to upholding international human rights and humanitarian law.Consequences for PalestiniansThe impacts of these attacks extend far beyond physical structures, with women – particularly pregnant women – suffering gravely. Many women have given birth without pre- or post-natal care, increasing the risk of preventable maternal and child mortality. The UN Human Rights Office received reports that newborns had died due to their mothers' inability to attend postnatal check-ups or reach medical facilities.Call for AccountabilityThe report concludes by calling for independent, thorough, and transparent investigations of all incidents, and full accountability for all violations of international humanitarian and human rights law. It also emphasizes the need for Israel, as the occupying power, to ensure and facilitate access to adequate healthcare for the Palestinian population.In conclusion, the OHCHR report highlights the catastrophic impact of Israel's attacks on Gaza's healthcare system. It is imperative that we prioritize accountability and transparency in these matters, and work towards ensuring that medical facilities are protected under international humanitarian law.
