12 of 35 hospitals are closed (typo from 21) 5102mimi (talk) 00:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. PianoDan (talk) 19:53, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are two of the West Bank examples the same event?

Two incidents both describe someone getting shot in a hospital, the details don't overlap, but don't disagree either, e.g. one gives the age of one victim as 17, but doesn't say there was only one victim, the other describes three people and doesn't list any ages. It is similar for the other info. FourPi (talk) 04:03, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CHANGE: The World Health Organization (or WHO) said that there have been 164 attacks on healthcare in Palestine—in the Gaza Strip—since 7 October 2023. As a result of that, 198 Palestinian medical staff, 12 members of the Palestinian Civil Defense, and 103 UNRWA staff have been killed. On the other hand, 26 hospitals and also 52 healthcare centers in Gaza are out of service, with 55 ambulances damaged.^[1]

TO: The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in December 2023 that there have been 164 attacks against healthcare in Palestine—in the Gaza Strip—since 7 October 2023. As a result of those attacks, 198 Palestinian medical staff, 12 members of the Palestinian Civil Defense, and 103 UNRWA staff have been killed. At the time of the report, 26 hospitals and 52 healthcare centers in Gaza were out of service, with 55 ambulances damaged.^[2]

The WHO has provided an updated report that states between 7 October 2023 and 19 September 2024, there have been 492 attacks on healthcare in Gaza with 492 individuals killed. No hospital in Gaza is fully functioning, only 17 of 36 hospitals are partially functioning and the remaining 19 are out of service.^[3] In May 2021, The Washington Post reported that only 4 of the 36 hospitals in Gaza have not been damaged by munitions, raided by Israeli forces, or ceased operations.^[4] Since that report, another hospital was attacked and one other hospital was reportedly attacked and not included. Kuwaiti hospital was closed due to an Israeli airstrike.^[5] Al Awda Hospital-Nuseirat was attacked on 22 April 2024. The solar power system was destroyed and major damages to water and fuel tanks.^[6]^[7] Editinginfreetime (talk) 03:47, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done Most of it looks good, and I've made the suggested changes. I did not include the specific incidents listed at the end, as these are better suited for the list of attacks lower in the article. I also corrected "In May 2021" to "In May 2024".
