Gaza Hospital Airstrike: Outrage Mounts Amidst Intensified Israeli Offensive
An Israeli airstrike destroyed the surgery building and oxygen station of al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, the only functioning hospital in the area, resulting in the death of one child during the evacuation. The IDF claimed the hospital was a Hamas command center, while the Palestinian civil defense agency reported only 20 minutes’ warning before the attack. This incident follows Israel’s establishment of a security zone in southern Gaza, cutting off Rafah and displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. The ongoing conflict has led to the destruction of much of Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure and humanitarian crisis.
