The health crisis in the Gaza Strip is worsening as Israeli restrictions on the entry of medicines, medical supplies, and fuel continue, alongside attacks targeting healthcare facilities.

He pointed to the continued military activity, restrictions on the entry of supplies, and the shrinking space available to residents and humanitarian workers.
