Gaza’s Medical Crisis Persists as Israel Continues to Impede Vital Aid

Despite the fragile ceasefire that took effect on October 10, 2025, six months ago, Israeli restrictions are still severely limiting the delivery of critical medical and humanitarian supplies to Palestinians in Gaza, according to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), a London-based aid organisation.

The organisation reports that Israel’s ongoing blockade has left Gaza’s healthcare system severely under-resourced, with more than half of essential medicines depleted and 64 percent of cancer medications inaccessible. Furthermore, nearly half of the hospitals in Gaza remain closed, and not a single facility is fully operational, MAP stated. The organisation also highlighted that 90 hospital generators are out of commission due to the lack of spare parts and fuel, which are being blocked by Israeli authorities.

MAP’s assessment reveals that over 18,500 patients, including approximately 4,000 children, are in urgent need of medical evacuation, but their transfer remains heavily restricted.
