Israel Attacks Children's Hospital in Gaza, Forcing it to Close
"There are no safe routes to reach hospitals and medical facilities, preventing patients and the wounded from accessing care,"
"The occupation is deliberately and systematically targeting the healthcare system in Gaza City as part of its policy of genocide against the population of the Gaza Strip."
"My father was just a doctor, just a human caring for patients,"
"the missile was dropped on his room exactly, on his place, on him precisely."
Since October 2023, Israeli strikes have killed more than 1,700 medical staff and attacked 38 hospitals in Gaza. Israeli assaults have closed Al-Rantisi pediatric hospital and Gaza's only eye care hospital, eliminating care unavailable elsewhere. The Palestinian health ministry stated there are no safe routes to reach hospitals, preventing patients and the wounded from accessing care, and described deliberate, systematic targeting of Gaza City's healthcare system. High-profile casualties include cardiologist Marwan Sultan, director of Indonesian Hospital, killed at home; Healthcare Workers Watch - Palestine reported Sultan was the 70th healthcare worker killed in a 50-day span.
