Gaza Ambulance System Threatened
The emergency and ambulance system in the Gaza Strip is facing an unprecedented collapse due to the severe Israeli blockade since October 2023. The blockade has led to the destruction of vehicles, prevented the entry of maintenance equipment and fuel, and resulted in attacks on medical crews. It is estimated that 65% of the Ministry of Health's vehicles are out of service, in addition to extensive damage to relief organization vehicles such as the Red Crescent and medical services, threatening the swift cessation of basic ambulance and medical transport services. This blockade constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law, exacerbates civilian suffering, and is considered by human rights organizations as war crimes and acts of genocide, especially given the rising number of deaths and injuries caused by the cutoff of emergency medical services. The international community is called upon to end the blockade and provide the necessary supplies to sustain these life-saving systems.
