Palestinian and UN officials warned Sunday of a worsening health crisis in Gaza as Israel's blockade continues. The Gaza health ministry claimed that 64 percent of medical supplies are depleted, with 43 percent of key medicines completely unavailable, according to Xinhua.

Hospitals are straining to manage an increasing number of critically ill individuals, while thousands of children await urgent surgery. Severe shortages of assistive devices and the inability to access treatment outside Gaza are worsening conditions for the disabled.

The Eye Hospital in Gaza warned of an imminent halt to surgeries due to lack of equipment. The UN said the ongoing blockade is causing irreversible harm, with thousands of aid trucks unable to enter, Xinhua reported.

Since March, over 2,700 Palestinians have been killed and over 7,500 injured. Food shortages forced the World Central Kitchen to cease operations, raising the risk of starvation, particularly among children.
