Abstract

The genocide in Gaza has caused widespread destruction of communities, healthcare systems, and the environment. However, direct field evidence on humanitarian healthcare disruption remains limited. This observational humanitarian study aimed to document and analyse the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Direct field observations in Southern Gaza assessed healthcare disruption, humanitarian conditions, and environmental degradation during an 11-day deployment in April–May 2025. Humanitarian access remained restricted throughout the mission. Destruction of healthcare and public infrastructure disrupted health services, humanitarian operations, and civilian mobility. Environmental degradation was evident across affected areas. Shortages of medicines, medical supplies, food, clean water, electricity, and fuel severely constrained care. Many displaced civilians lived in temporary shelters and overcrowded settings. Personnel at Nasser Medical Complex worked prolonged hours despite severe resource limitations. The Indonesian EMT treated approximately 100 patients and initiated voluntary blood donation activities. Under Rahma Worldwide Mission 32, the Indonesian and Qatari teams managed 434 consultations and emergency cases, performed 169 surgical procedures without intraoperative mortality, assisted eight normal deliveries, and treated 53 patients with non-communicable diseases. The Indonesian EMT also provided humanitarian medical education, capacity building, and clinical training in regenerative medicine and wound management, and established a pain clinic for patients. These findings underscore the multidimensional impacts of genocide on civilian survival, healthcare systems, and social resilience in Gaza. The Indonesian EMT experience highlights the urgent need to end the genocide, protect civilians, sustain medical support, and support long-term recovery.

Abstract

Depression is a serious mental health problem among older adults, especially in social care facilities. This study examines the hypothesis that cognitive function and neuroticism personality are associated with depression among older adults residing in a nursing home, a relationship that remains rarely investigated within the Indonesian institutional context. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 38 older adults aged 60 to 85 years, selected from an initial population of 373 residents through a total sampling approach after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Depression was measured using the GDS-15. Cognitive function was measured using the MoCA-Ina. Neuroticism personality was measured using the BFI-2. Bivariate associations were assessed using Pearson's correlation test. This study found that the majority of respondents did not experience depression (65.8%), although the mean cognitive function score was below the normal threshold (18.58 ± 6.77). There was no significant relationship between cognitive function and depression levels (r = -0.038; 95% CI -0.353 to 0.285; p = 0.821). There was a significant positive correlation between neuroticism personality and depression levels (r = 0.524; 95% CI 0.246 to 0.723; p < 0.001). In summary, neuroticism personality was significantly associated with depression level among institutionalized older adults, whereas cognitive function was not. Neuroticism may therefore be a more relevant psychological marker of depression risk than cognitive status in this population; further studies directly measuring psychosocial and spiritual variables are needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the non-significant cognitive-depression association.
