The Impact of War on Vital Sectors in Gaza

Since the outbreak of the war on October 7, Gaza has suffered massive destruction affecting various vital sectors, leading to significant human and material losses. In the medical sector, the Ministry of Health reported the death of 1,151 healthcare workers, with verified data for 986 of them. This reflects the direct impact of the war on medical infrastructure and the healthcare personnel working under harsh conditions to save lives.

In the education sector, the Ministry of Education announced the death of 11,000 students and the injury of more than 17,000 others, while 500 schools and universities were hit by strikes. These figures demonstrate the scale of the catastrophe affecting students and educational institutions, threatening the future of an entire generation and depriving children of their fundamental right to education.

Additionally, the Prisoners’ Club revealed that more than 10,700 people have been arrested since October 7, adding another layer to the humanitarian crisis as arrests increase amid escalating tensions.

This complex situation highlights the impact of the war on various aspects of life in Gaza and underscores the urgent need for international action to protect civilians and alleviate human suffering.
