A WHO data-set analysis shows how mobile and hospital teams split the load of hypertension, diabetes and epilepsy care during the war, while a separate study tracked dialysis capacity falling.
Among 383 dialysis patients, 83.6% screened for moderate-to-extreme anxiety and 58% for PTSD; a separate study of 250 displaced adolescents found trauma exposure tracking closely with post-traumatic symptoms.
A self-reported cross-sectional study of 599 residents found sharp deterioration across every measured dimension of oral health during the war — a neglected corner of the humanitarian-health picture.

A UNRWA surveillance dataset of 265,974 arm-circumference measurements shows wasting rising during blockade, falling during ceasefire, then rising again — an unusually direct record of cause and effect.
