The right to health in Gaza is now a privilege
These days, Gaza’s healthcare system is not in the news. There are no violent raids on hospitals, as happened to Al Shifa Hospital, while I was working there in November 2023; there are no bombings of hospital wards or sniper killings in their yards; there are no new claims of secret tunnels under medical facilities.

These days, Gaza’s healthcare system is not in the news.

And yet Gaza’s medical system continues to suffer from worsening collapse. Perhaps, this is the most apparent in displacement camps, where the most impoverished and vulnerable people are forced to live. There, the devastated healthcare system cannot reach those who need it the most, nor are the ill and injured able to come to its few functioning points.
