Al-Awda Hospital in Gaza faces catastrophic shortages, warns WHO

Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, the region's last remaining operational medical facility, is on the brink of collapse, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

With an overwhelming influx of patients, the hospital is critically low on both fuel and essential supplies, pushing it to breaking point.

Despite efforts to reach the facility and provide much-needed resupplies, the UN health agency has been unable to navigate the destroyed roads and bureaucratic blockages that make safe access impossible.

“Immediate action is needed to clear the roads and facilitate access to keep Al-Awda running,” the WHO urgently stated.

Israel’s ongoing military campaign continues to cripple Gaza’s vital infrastructure, leaving hospitals like Al-Awda struggling to cope with the humanitarian disaster its actions have caused.
