As the Israeli onslaught on Gaza intensifies, Palestinian officials have accused Israel of systematically dismantling the Strip’s health infrastructure in what they describe as a campaign of genocide. Medical centres, ambulances, and emergency units have not been spared, with reports of repeated strikes on hospitals already stretched beyond capacity.

Officials on the ground say entire neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble under a daily barrage of missiles and artillery fire. In the chaos, doctors operate without electricity, painkillers, or surgical tools. Many patients die before they are even triaged.

What’s unfolding in Gaza is more than a military campaign—it is a calculated assault on survival itself. With more than 2.4 million people trapped under siege, denied access to food, water, and medicine, the systematic targeting of medical facilities appears aimed at collapsing the last remnants of civilian resilience.

In this grim context, Palestinian voices are calling out what they see as complicity from the international community. The silence from Western capitals, many of which continue to arm and support Israel, has been denounced as a moral failure. Palestinian officials insist that justice must prevail—before more lives are lost, and before the destruction becomes irreversible.

The world, they warn, is watching a humanitarian catastrophe unfold in real time. The question now is whether it will act—or allow history to record yet another shameful betrayal of humanity.
