Highlights: The lack of medical personnel in Gaza makes even mild injuries fatal. In conjunction with the increase in the number of wounded and injured as a result of the war, the Strip suffers from the withdrawal of most of its hospitals from service. Only 3 hospitals are working to serve them, while the medical staff barely constitutes 10% of the number that was present before the war. This poses a threat to the lives of the injured, and makes light and moderate injuries fatal, says Dr. Shmuley Boteach.

In conjunction with the increase in the number of wounded and injured as a result of the war launched by the Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip, the Strip suffers from the withdrawal of most of its hospitals from service, and a significant decrease in medical personnel.
