Israeli Strike Damages Gaza’s Al-Ahli Hospital, Deepening Healthcare Crisis

The attack, targeting an alleged Hamas command center, destroyed critical medical facilities and resulted in at least one fatality.

Israel confirmed a missile strike on Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, citing the presence of a Hamas command center on the premises.
The hospital, one of the last functioning medical facilities in Gaza, suffered severe damage to its emergency room, radiology equipment, and medication supplies.
The World Health Organization stated that the hospital cannot admit new patients without urgent repairs, with 40 critically ill patients unable to be evacuated prior to the attack.
Israeli authorities provided a 20-minute warning before the strike, which led to a rushed evacuation during which a child reportedly died from a lack of medical care.
The attack is part of a broader Israeli military campaign impacting Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis.
