Although immediate reports of casualties are unavailable, a video shared on social media by Al Jazeera Arabic displayed damage to an ambulance caused by the bombardment. These strikes are raising serious concerns regarding the safety of medical facilities and the accessibility of healthcare in the region.

Adding to the distress, the Palestinian Red Crescent stated that the Tal al-Hawa area of Gaza, near al-Quds Hospital, was “violently bombed” by Israeli forces. This increase in violence around medical facilities exacerbates the challenges faced by healthcare providers striving to deliver essential services to those in need.
In a troubling development, Al-Quds Hospital announced on Thursday that it had to cease “most operations” due to a depletion of fuel. This shortage is attributed to the complete blockade enforced by the Israeli military on Gaza, significantly hindering the hospital’s ability to operate and offer vital medical care.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
