Israel's restrictions on spare parts entering Gaza have crippled hospital equipment across the territory, Drop Site News reported. Medical facilities lack the ability to repair oxygen machines and other critical devices needed for patient care. Hospital administrators say the blockade has made equipment maintenance nearly impossible, forcing facilities to operate with machines that malfunction regularly.
Gaza's health system faces near-total collapse under the ongoing restrictions on medical supplies and parts. Without access to replacement components, hospitals cannot sustain the machinery essential for treating patients with respiratory distress and other critical conditions. The deteriorating equipment has intensified pressure on an already fragile health infrastructure struggling to meet population needs across the territory.
