Israeli airstrikes targeted and destroyed part of the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City in the early hours of Sunday, the latest in a series of attacks on healthcare facilities in the enclave. According to Gaza health officials, the strike caused no casualties as patients and staff were evacuated following Israeli orders. The attack was claimed by the Israeli military, citing the compound’s use by terrorists for planning and executing attacks, though Hamas labeled it as a criminal escalation and part of a larger series of attacks on hospitals and schools.
The ongoing Israeli bombardment has severely impacted Gaza’s healthcare system, with the United Nations warning of a collapse. The destruction of hospitals and other infrastructure has made it difficult for Palestinians to receive basic medical care. In addition to attacks on hospitals, Israel has imposed a month-long blockade on food, fuel, and humanitarian aid, leading to acute shortages in the region.
The recent attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital comes against a backdrop of conflict between Israel and Gaza, with tensions escalating since the ceasefire was broken last month. The region has seen a significant number of casualties and destruction, with over 50,900 Palestinians killed since the offensive began, representing more than 2% of Gaza’s population. The situation remains dire as both sides continue to engage in military actions, leading to further devastation and loss of life.
