GAZA EMERGENCY RESPONSE REPORT (OCT - DEC 2025)

Oct - Dec 2025

Overview of the health situation

Juzoor for Health and Social Development 01 Since October 2023, Gaza’s health system has undergone a near-total collapse as a result of sustained hostilities, systematic attacks on health infrastructure, and prolonged restrictions on movement and supplies. What was previously a fragile but functioning health system has been transformed into a fragmented, emergency-driven network focused almost exclusively on trauma care and survival, with limited capacity to deliver preventive, routine, or specialized services. educational disruption raises the prospect of a “lost cohort,” with long-term consequences for Gaza’s human capital, economic potential, and population health.

Overall, the war has transformed Gaza’s health crisis from chronic fragility into systemic collapse. Recovery will require not only reconstruction of infrastructure, but sustained investment in human resources, governance, public health systems, and social services. Without political stability, unrestricted humanitarian access, and long-term development support, Gaza’s health system risks remaining locked in a cycle of emergency response and humanitarian dependency, with enduring consequences for population health and survival.

Preventive and primary health services have collapsed. Routine immunization, maternal and child health care, and chronic disease management have been repeatedly disrupted, increasing the risk of outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases and driving avoidable complications and deaths from conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and renal failure. The health system has shifted from prevention and continuity of care to reactive, survival-focused interventions.
