Historical Context

The establishment of Israel in 1948 sparked ongoing conflicts, notably the humanitarian crises in Gaza. Following the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel occupied Gaza, leading to significant military actions affecting medical facilities. Currently, only 30% of Gaza's medical facilities are operational, with Israeli military vehicles obstructing access to Al-Quds Hospital, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention amid escalating violence.
