Israeli airstrikes destroyed part of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, with no casualties reported as patients and staff evacuated. Israel claimed the compound was used by terrorists, issuing advanced warnings before striking. Hamas accused Israel of a systematic series of attacks on hospitals and schools, highlighting the devastation of Gaza’s health system. The United Nations reported that 70% of infrastructure in Gaza, including hospitals and schools, had been destroyed.
The recent attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital is not the first, with Israeli airstrikes hitting other healthcare facilities in Gaza, exacerbating the challenges Palestinians face in accessing life-saving medical care. Additionally, Israel has imposed a month-long blockade on food, fuel, and humanitarian aid, leading to acute shortages. In October 2023, a blast at the same hospital resulted in the deaths of hundreds, sparking international outrage.
The current conflict between Israel and Gaza has resulted in thousands of deaths, with over 50,900 Palestinians killed since the offensive began. The situation has worsened since Israel restarted its offensive in March, with casualties continuing to mount. The destruction of hospitals and other critical infrastructure has further strained the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
