Dozens of Palestinians martyred, injured in Israeli occupation bombing, storming of Al Shifa Medical Complex

Gaza: Dozens of Palestinians were martyred and injured today as a result of the Israeli occupations bombing of Al Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza city.

According to medical sources, a fire broke out at the gate of Al Shifa Medical Complex, with cases of suffocation among the displaced women and children in the hospital, during the occupation forces' storming of the hospital and its complete siege, coinciding with cutting off communication services for about 30,000 displaced people inside the complex, the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported.

The sources added that the occupation forces stormed the specialized surgeries building and opened fire directly at anyone who moved, with medical teams unable to save the injured due to the intensity of the fire and targeting anyone approaching the windows in another crime against health institutions.

Local sources also reported that the occupation forces arrested dozens of citizens from inside Al Shifa Medical Complex.

The World Health Organization (WHO) affirmed in a report that the unrelenting war in Gaza has not spared hospitals, their staff, or the people sheltering there, as it unveiled data indicating more than 350 attacks on healthcare centers carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in the Strip since 7 October.
