Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and Preventing and Responding to Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PRSEAH)
Mental health in Gaza has been a critical concern long before the ongoing conflict. Over 16 years of blockade and repeated escalations in violence had already fueled a growing crisis, but the situation over the past two years has deteriorated dramati-cally. Constant attacks on the entire population, repeated displacement, famine in parts of Gaza, the spread of disease, the loss of livelihoods, loved ones, and any sense of safety have pushed mental health needs to alarming levels, affecting everyone.
Gaza Hostilities 2023 / 2024 - Emergency Situation Reports
In the occupied Palestinian territory, where a 16-year blockade has left the Gaza Strip’s health system severely under-resourced, escalating hostilities with Israel that began on 7 October 2023 are compounding an already dire situation. Power outages and shortages of medicines and health supplies in Gaza Strip hospitals are hindering the delivery of life-saving medical care. Attacks on health care have been recorded by WHO, resulting in deaths and injuries of health workers and affecting health facilities and ambulances. As the situation evolves, there is an urgent need to establish a humanitarian corridor for unimpeded, life-saving patient referrals and movement of humanitarian personnel and essential health supplies.
