Israel/Occupied Palestinian Territories: Health Professional Action: Deterioration of health care situation in Gaza

Amnesty International continues to be concerned about the worsening conditions of hospitals and other medical facilities in the Gaza Strip. Recent Israeli military air strikes and artillery attacks on Gaza have caused further damage to Palestinian medical facilities and exacerbated the effects of the blockade imposed by the Israeli authorities. Scores of Palestinians have been injured as a result of the recent escalation of fighting.
