Nasser Hospital siege
2024 hospital siege in Gaza Strip, Palestine / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the Israel–Hamas war, the Nasser Hospital faced multiple attacks, including a siege and raid in January and February 2024. The hospital siege by Israeli forces created severe shortages of food, anesthesia, and painkillers. Reports emerged of Israeli snipers targeting individuals outside the hospital. Despite international calls for restraint, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ordered the evacuation of displaced people inside the hospital on 13 February 2024. On 15 February, Israeli soldiers raided the hospital. The hospital had completely ceased functioning by March 2024.
It has been suggested that Nasser Hospital mass graves be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2024. |
