Gaza: 22 Hospitals Attacked in 2026 as Humanitarian Crisis Deepens

Despite a ceasefire in place since October 2025, Gaza's healthcare system continues to collapse — with 22 hospital attacks documented in 2026, 880 dead, and 98% of water deemed unsafe for consumption. The sustained suffering of a civilian population amid ongoing conflict reflects the kind of prolonged tribulation in the land of Israel that Scripture associates with the last days preceding Christ's return. Jesus warned in Matthew 24 of wars, famines, and widespread suffering as birth pains marking the end of the age, with Jerusalem and its surroundings at the centre of end-times events.
