[Correspondence] Managing psychiatric emergencies in Gaza with a destroyed psychiatric hospital

The running of psychiatric wards during times of war has unique ethical challenges, as discussed by Weiser and colleagues.1 Unfortunately, in Gaza, we do not have the luxury of adapting inpatient care to the challenges of war, as the only psychiatric hospital in Gaza was destroyed in an Israeli attack in Nov, 2023.2 This destruction has left a clinical void for patients with severe mental illness who require hospital admission. As psychiatry residents, we have had to manage these patients in outpatient facilities, which have also been repeatedly targeted.
