The majority of victims were displaced individuals seeking shelter from Israeli aggression in the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in central Gaza after the Israeli military destroyed their homes, the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported.
The health ministry further noted that there are “hundreds still trapped under the rubble,” Sky News Arabia reported.
The Gaza Strip’s government media office condemned this act as a “new war crime committed by the Israeli occupation, targeting the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in the heart of Gaza City.”
The hospital had been housing hundreds of patients, wounded individuals, and forcibly displaced people due to the Israeli Armed Forces relentless and indiscriminate shelling of the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian death toll has reached around 3,000 since Israel began its intense attacks on Gaza on October 7.
In addition, Israel’s aggression has resulted in more than 12,500 injuries, as well as caused massive destruction in the Gaza Strip.
Making matters worse, Israel cut off electric, food, water, and fuel supplies to Gaza, which many describe as the “world’s largest open-air prison.”
For many observers and commentators of Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, the blank check the West has given to consecutive Israeli governments to slaughter the Palestinians has led the Jewish state to commit grave violations of international law that amount to war crimes, namely the killing and maiming of children, the bombing of schools or hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access to children.
These are among the six grave breaches identified and condemned by Security Council Resolution 1261 (1999). Notably, Israel has violated all provisions of international law relating to armed conflict, including the First Article of the Geneva Convention of 1864, the Hague Convention of 1907, the Geneva Convention of August 1949, General Assembly 2675 (1970).
