An Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital has tragically claimed the lives of four individuals and left 17 others wounded according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The horrifying incident occurred as a WHO team was present at the hospital on a humanitarian mission to assess needs and retrieve incubators for a critical area in northern Gaza. The strike targeted a tent camp within the hospital compound, prompting renewed appeals from WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus for the protection of patients, healthcare workers, and humanitarian efforts during the conflict. Tedros emphasized the imperative need to respect international humanitarian laws, cease attacks on hospitals, and adhere to the UN Security Council resolution urging a ceasefire. The ongoing devastation and militarization of hospitals must come to an end to safeguard the innocent lives caught in the crossfire of this escalating conflict.
