In a dramatic turn of events, Israeli forces carried out a raid on the last-standing hospital in northern Gaza. The severe action has raised numerous concerns about the safety of civilians and medical professionals in the besieged region.
The Al-Shifa Hospital, currently the only fully-operational medical facility catering to the population in northern Gaza, has come under attack by Israeli forces, sparking international condemnation from human rights organizations and governments alike. Apart from seizing the medical center, authorities apprehended the hospital director along with several staff members, leaving residents to question the legitimacy of such measures amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis.
With access to essential medical care limited and deterioration persisting, the escalated situation is hampering the efforts to provide much-needed treatment to injured civilians and protect them from potential harm. As the conflict entreating northern Gaza between Israel and Palestinian militants exacerbates, the internatinal community is seeking answers and devising solutions for a potential mass exodus of desperate Gazans searching for refuge.
