Gaza's Devastating Health Crisis: A Toxic Legacy of War
The recent ceasefire in Gaza has exposed a grim reality: a healthcare system on the brink of collapse. Hospitals and clinics lie in ruins, while millions of tons of debris contaminated with toxic substances, unexploded ordnance, and human remains pose a significant threat to public health. Tens of thousands of people are left with injuries that will require a lifetime of medical care, including rehabilitation and psychological support. The crisis demands urgent attention, with a focus on disaster relief, medical aid, and environmental cleanup to mitigate the long-term effects of war on Gaza's fragile healthcare infrastructure. The road to recovery will be long and challenging, requiring sustained efforts from humanitarian organizations and the international community to address this unfolding health catastrophe.
