ISRAELI Airstrikes Killed 22 In A Renewed Attacks On Mosque And School Targeting Hamas In Gaza
ISRAELI airstrikes has killed 25 people at school and Mosque where people took shelters early Sunday morning of October 6, 2024 in Central Gaza, overwhelming nearby Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital with casualties.
The hospital received 53 injured patients and 22 bodies of those killed in the attack on the shelters in Deir Al-Balah, according to a statement from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders.
“Many patients arrived in critical condition, suffering from head, chest and abdominal injuries,” said Eliza Sabatini, an MSF nurse in Gaza. “The situation in the hospital was chaotic. There weren’t enough beds for all the patients, and we had to treat people on the floor.”
Al-Aqsa hospital is one of the few remaining operational health care facilities in Gaza, the MSF statement noted. The aid group urged officials to reach a ceasefire to alleviate the ongoing suffering in Gaza, where it says 80% of the more than 27,600 patients MSF has treated during the conflict suffered from wounds linked to shelling.
More on the strikes: Earlier Sunday, hospital officials confirmed to CNN that at least 25 people were killed after Israeli airstrikes targeted the mosque and school.
CNN footage from Al-Aqsa hospital captured the grief of a mother crouched over her deceased son, crying and wailing, “My love, my son. My love, my son.”
The Israeli military has stated it was targeting a Hamas “command and control” center that was “embedded within the compound” it struck Sunday, and said it had taken steps to “mitigate the risk of harming civilians.”
