A year after the ceasefire, Gaza's healthcare is still collapsing
An Al Jazeera opinion piece says that a year after the ceasefire, Palestinians in Gaza are still being killed by continuing attacks, restrictions on medical aid and delayed evacuations.
The healthcare system in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian territory, is still collapsing a year after the ceasefire. That is the assessment in an opinion piece Al Jazeera published on 10 October. The headline puts the word "ceasefire" in quotation marks.
What still endangers people
The piece names three reasons Palestinians in Gaza continue to die:
- attacks that have not stopped;
- restrictions on the delivery of medical aid;
- delays in evacuating the sick and wounded.
According to this account, the ceasefire has not prevented deaths caused by interrupted or delayed medical care.
