Only six Unrwa health centres operational in Gaza

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) said that only six out of 22 of its health facilities remain functioning in Gaza due to “constant bombardment”.

In a post on X, the UN body said the other 37 medical centres it ran lacked essential medical supplies, which are “critically low”.

“Unhindered access to deliver lifesaving aid including medicine and basic medical supplies is urgently needed,” it said.

Since 2 March, Israel has imposed a total blockade on food and aid entering Gaza.

UNRWA has delivered over 8.5 million medical consultations in #Gaza since the war began in October 2023. These include maternal health, mental health, and rehabilitation services.
