More than 1700 health care workers, doctors, nurses, paramedics have been killed and 94% of the hospitals destroyed. In addition, Israel imposed a blockade of food, water, fuel and medicine so total and so deliberate that it produced mass malnutrition. In fact, hundreds of people in Gaza actually starved to death.
