A recent UN report has criticized Israel for deliberately destroying Gaza's healthcare system during last year's conflict with Hamas. The report claims that Israel's actions not only destroyed medical facilities but also targeted healthcare workers, leading to war crimes and human rights violations. The UN experts argue that Israel's operations in Gaza, including blocking medical supplies and preventing patients from leaving for treatment, have had severe consequences, especially for children. The report also mentions the tragic incident of 5-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed along with her family after an ambulance couldn't reach them due to Israeli forces. While Israel denies these allegations, the report suggests that Hamas has also committed war crimes by using medical facilities for military purposes and mistreating detainees. The report will be presented to the UN General Assembly soon.
