Israeli Strike Levels Gaza City Medical Center as Western Nations Press to Reopen Patient Corridor

WHO denounced the strike, with governments offering resources to reopen a Gaza–West Bank medical route.

Overview

  • Palestinian Medical Relief Society said its six‑story Tel al‑Hawa facility was reduced to rubble after an evacuation order, and the Israeli military did not immediately comment.
  • WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus condemned the attack on the partnered facility and called for an end to assaults on health sites and for a ceasefire.
  • The charity reported another center damaged and encircled by Israeli troops and said a third was destroyed, while Gaza authorities said Al‑Rantisi Children’s and the Specialized Eye hospitals shut due to nearby operations.
  • Twenty‑four Western nations urged Israel to restore a medical corridor to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, offering funding, medical staff and equipment, with no immediate Israeli response after earlier security objections.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry reported at least 65,382 Palestinians killed since the war began and warned the enclave’s healthcare is near collapse as supplies and fuel run short.
