The health situation in Gaza is currently facing a dire humanitarian crisis, as reported by Sean Casey, a World Health Organization (WHO) Health Emergency Officer who spent 5 weeks in the region. During his visit to the area's hospitals, Casey witnessed the catastrophic conditions resulting from the conflict. Hospitals in Gaza are struggling to cope with the influx of casualties caused by Israeli bombings. They are facing extreme shortages of staff and essential supplies, with the remaining functional hospitals under imminent threat. Patients are reportedly 'waiting to die', highlighting the severity of the healthcare system's breakdown. The situation has been further exacerbated by the ongoing Israeli occupation and military actions, which have been described as a genocide by some observers. Casey was in New York yesterday briefing reporters on his mission in Gaza, providing powerful first-hand testimony.
