The '2 million' figure corresponds to Gaza's total population (~2.1 million), which OCHA describes as lacking access to life-saving medical services — the health-care component of the claim is accurate for the whole population.
The education component is primarily a children's metric: UN sources put the number of children out of school at roughly 650,000–660,000 (nearly all school-age children), not 2 million people; extending 'no access to education' to the entire population overstates the strict out-of-school figure, though 95% of educational infrastructure has been destroyed.
Sources located date from 2024–2025; no source published on or immediately before the session date (2026-07-09) was found, though the data they cite describes the period before the claim was made.
The claim rounds 2.1 million down to 'two million' and presents a combined health-care-and-education figure, whereas the two sub-metrics apply to different population segments.
