Gaza Health Services Collapse as 320,000 Flee, UN Calls for Investigation
Health services in Gaza are in crisis, with a key clinic destroyed and staff injured. Over 320,000 people have fled Gaza's biggest city since mid-August, as Israeli military tactics inflict terror. The UN human rights chief has called for an independent investigation into attacks on the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, which included boats carrying humanitarian aid and activists like Greta Thunberg.

The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reports a shocking increase in child casualties, with too many children killed or injured. The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) warns of famine conditions, with over 500,000 people starving and 390 deaths confirmed, including 140 children. UN agencies caution of escalating attacks, mass displacement, and worsening hunger in the Gaza Strip.
