Attacks on Health Care in the occupied Palestinian territory (29 April-12 May 2026)

Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: Insecurity Insight Please refer to the attached file. Since the 08 April 2026 Iran ceasefire, Israeli forces have reportedly increased attacks that directly affected health facilities and access to care across Gaza. In total, Insecurity Insight identified seven incidents of violence against or obstruction of health in the 16 days between 08 and 24 April 2026, compared to four incidents in the previous 16-day period (23 March-07 April). Reported incidents include Israeli drone strikes and artillery shelling near hospitals, restricting safe access to medical care, as well as gunfire directed at a UN-run health centre. Fuel restrictions and ongoing Israeli military operations also pushed critical services closer to collapse: on 11 April, a hospital was forced to shut down one of its main generators due to fuel shortages, leaving vital departments dependent on lower-capacity backup generators operating only for limited hours.
