The Israeli offensive in Gaza has crippled the region’s healthcare system, according to Al Jazeera. Blood banks have become inoperable, leading to a severe blood shortage that endangers patients' lives. Due to malnutrition and dehydration, even healthy individuals are unable to donate blood. Journalist Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said, “We’ve seen people begging doctors to take their blood to save loved ones, but they’re being turned away due to their weakened conditions.” The World Health Organization has warned that over 14,800 patients urgently need specialized care. Meanwhile, despite the crisis, Netanyahu has declared intentions to fully occupy Gaza within the next few days.
