⭕️ Gaza Health Ministry: 76% of medical imaging equipment destroyed during Israel’s genocidal war
The Gaza Ministry of Health said on 18 May that severe challenges are crippling diagnostic imaging services in the few hospitals still operating across the Gaza Strip. According to the ministry, 76 percent of all medical imaging equipment in Gaza has been destroyed during Israel’s genocidal war.
Of the remaining devices, only 24 percent are still functioning, and they are operating under extremely difficult technical conditions amid soaring demand, limited maintenance capacity, and a critical shortage of spare parts.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is no longer available anywhere in Gaza after all nine MRI machines were destroyed, significantly hindering both diagnosis and treatment for patients and the wounded. Only five CT scanners remain operational out of 18 previously in service, far below what is needed to meet daily diagnostic demands.
Before the war, Gaza had 88 conventional X-ray machines; just 33 are still working, most of them worn out and prone to frequent breakdowns. The ministry added that operating rooms urgently need fluoroscopy units, with only five of the 16 pre-war systems still functional, warning that the continued collapse of imaging services is severely complicating life-saving medical interventions.
