6 killed, including doctor, in Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital surgery ward
At least 6 Palestinians, including a doctor, were killed and more than 20 others were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting the surgery building at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip.
At least 6 Palestinians, including doctor Rizq Abu Shaeera, were killed and more than 20 others were injured on Wednesday-Thursday night in an Israeli airstrike targeting the surgery building at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, according to the Health Ministry and Civil Defense in the territory.
Palestinian sources and the Civil Defense Directorate said Israeli warplanes directly struck the building’s second floor, causing extensive damage to the men’s and women’s surgery wards and the intensive care unit. Civil Defense teams pulled the dead and injured from under the rubble and transferred them to other departments in the hospital.
“A clear violation of international law”
Gaza’s Health Ministry said the victims included healthcare workers, patients and their companions. It described targeting a facility where patients were being treated as “a crime against patients and medical staff” and a clear violation of international law and conventions guaranteeing the protection of hospitals. It called on the international community, the United Nations and human rights organizations to take urgent action to stop these attacks and hold those responsible accountable.
Hamas described the shelling of the hospital as “a war crime and terrorist conduct,” while the Israeli military had not issued a detailed explanation of the strike by the time this report was prepared.
Nasser Medical Complex is the largest hospital in the southern Gaza Strip and receives large numbers of wounded people and patients amid the difficult humanitarian conditions in the territory.
