Hospitals and other vital medical infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank have been attacked nearly 600 times since war erupted in the enclave in response to the Hamas-led terror attack in southern Israel, the UN health agency said on Friday.

Some 613 people have died within health facilities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 7 October last year - 606 in Gaza and seven in the West Bank - and more than 770 have been injured, according to latest data on healthcare attacks from the World Health Organization (WHO).
