Gaza Herald – In a scathing update, Gaza’s Director of Ambulances at Al-Shifa Medical Complex announced that nearly 80% of the ambulance vehicles in the Strip are now out of service, casualties of deliberate Israeli targeting during the genocidal war.
The remaining few are stretched thin, struggling to respond to life-or-death emergencies amid bombardment and access bans.
Over the past two years, Israel’s military campaign has targeted medical infrastructure with precision. Ambulances, makeshift hospitals, emergency routes, and medical teams have all faced repeated assaults.
Humanitarian observers say crippling Gaza’s ambulance fleet is a strategic tactic to delay rescue, increase civilian casualties, and transform blockades into weapons.
With wounded piling up and roads littered with wreckage, the breakdown of Gaza’s emergency services may be among the deadliest consequences of this ongoing genocide.
