The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza has taken a heavy toll on medical professionals, with 489 individuals from the medical fraternity martyred and over 600 sustaining injuries as a result of Israeli attacks.

As per the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 4,373 patients have been transferred abroad for treatment from Gaza, while over 10,000 more await evacuation for medical care.
