Israeli forces have once again launched a massive attack on the Gaza Strip. At least 151 Palestinians lost their lives in the Israeli aggression in a single day on Sunday (May 18). This information was reported by the Gaza Health Ministry.
The Israeli military operation that began on October 7, 2023, has taken a horrific form so far. The death toll has exceeded 53,000 and more than 120,000 people have been injured. The number of casualties is increasing every day, which is shaking the conscience of the entire world.
On the one hand, negotiations are underway between Hamas and Israeli representatives in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on a ceasefire, while on the other hand, Israel continues its brutal attacks. Israeli forces have surrounded hospitals in northern Gaza. Patients, doctors and essential medical equipment are being prevented from entering. The Israeli army has admitted to attacking infrastructure near the hospital.
Mohammed Salha, director of Al-Awda, another private hospital in northern Gaza, warned that the crisis would deepen if the hospital closed. Because his institution depends on the hospital for oxygen and ICU-based services.
However, not only northern Gaza, but also the Nasser Medical Complex and the European Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza were damaged by the Israeli attack. Israel claims that there is a Hamas command center under the European Hospital – which was cited as the reason for the attack.
