OPA WIRE, Nov 12 (OPA) — An Israeli military strike hit the intensive care unit at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing at least six people and injuring 20 others. Gaza's Civil Defence confirmed that the casualties include hospital staff members who were on duty during the attack.
The strike adds to mounting pressure on the besieged territory's collapsing medical infrastructure. Emergency responders and medical personnel rushed to evacuate patients from the damaged ward amid ongoing security risks.
Hospitals across the Gaza Strip have repeatedly been caught in the crossfire of the ongoing conflict, leading to severe shortages of medical supplies, electricity, and safe space for critical care patients.
International organizations continue to call for the protection of medical facilities under international humanitarian law as fighting persists across the enclave.
