Accordance to the Human Rights Organization, Israel is Guilty of “The Systematic Destruction of the Health, Well-Being and Social Cohesion” of the Palestinians. Amnesty Substantiates This Accusation with Testimonies from Palestinians and Medical Personnel in the Gaza Strip.

That ministry is controlled by Hamas, but the united nations generally sees the figures as reliable.
