Since October 2023, Israel’s genocidal military campaign in Gaza has led to the collapse of nearly every pillar of the territory’s healthcare system. The Israeli occupation forces bombed hospitals, killed medical personnel, obstructed humanitarian convoys, and decimated critical infrastructure. Major human rights organizations have documented that the destruction of healthcare in Gaza is systematic and deliberate; even so, they often stop short of naming what this truly represents: not an isolated wartime tactic but the culmination of a long-standing policy. Indeed, the erasure of Gaza’s health system began long before this latest episode of the genocide against the Palestinian people. It is the result of a sustained, calculated strategy aimed at rendering Palestinians unhealable, unhelpable, and ultimately perishable.
