Israel Raids One of the Last Hospitals in North Gaza
Israeli soldiers raided one of the last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza. The military operation on the medical facility forced the Al-Ahli Hospital to close its doors.
According to the Associated Press, “Israeli forces raided the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City overnight, according to the church that operates it, destroying a wall at its front entrance and detaining most of its staff.”
The raid left the hospital damaged and understaffed. Don Binder, a pastor at St. George’s Anglican Cathedral, which runs the hospital, said the attack left just two doctors, four nurses, and two janitors to tend to over 100 seriously wounded patients, with no running water or electricity. He explained an Israeli tank was parked on the rubble at the hospital’s entrance, blocking anyone from entering or leaving.
