Khan Yunis:Gaza Health officials in Gaza have condemned the Israeli occupation army's targeting of medical facilities, including a recent strike on the Nasser Medical Complex's surgery department in Khan Yunis. This attack, which occurred early today, resulted in six deaths and 30 injuries, and is viewed as part of an ongoing effort to dismantle the region's healthcare infrastructure.

According to Qatar News Agency, Zaher Al Wahidi, spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, highlighted the challenges faced by the healthcare system, noting 793 documented attacks on medical services, leading to the deaths of 1,725 healthcare workers, including 155 doctors. Al Wahidi emphasized that the latest assault follows previous strikes on other hospitals and health centers, exacerbating the already dire situation.

Dr. Ahmed Al Farra, Director of the Nasser Medical Complex, reported a critical shortage of medical supplies following the attack, which forced the suspension of services in several departments. Despite these challenges, hospital staff remain committed to providing care. Al Farra condemned the attacks as violations of international laws and urged global intervention.

The Israeli bombardment caused the deaths of six individuals, including medical staff and patients, and injured over 30 others. In addition, the Ministry of Education announced the death of student Jihad Abu Tilikh, increasing the number of students killed in recent attacks to eight.

Health unions in Gaza have labeled the attack a crime and hold the occupation forces responsible. They call on international organizations to provide protection for hospitals, warning that silence may lead to further violations and threaten the remaining healthcare infrastructure in Gaza.
