Israel launches attack on a pediatric hospital in Gaza.
Gaza's Al-Rantisi Children's Hospital Shelled by Israeli Defense Forces
The Al-Rantisi Children's Hospital in Gaza was reportedly targeted by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on September 16, according to various sources. The hospital, which is the only specialized medical facility in the Gaza Strip, provides treatment for children suffering from respiratory and digestive system diseases, as well as offering assistance to cancer patients and performing dialysis.
The upper floors of the hospital were hit three times with intervals of several minutes, causing alarm and panic among the 80 patients, including children undergoing treatment, their parents, and medical staff, who were present at the time of the attack.
Despite the risk of renewed shelling, half of the children undergoing treatment, along with their parents and medical staff, remained in the hospital. The Ministry of Health in Gaza issued a statement condemning the strike on the Al-Rantisi Children's Hospital as a crime.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza also confirmed the strike on the hospital, and the Al-Rantisi Children's Hospital was reported by Liter.kz. However, it's worth noting that the hospital was not specifically reported as attacked in September 2021.
The IDF has not yet issued a statement regarding the incident. This latest development adds to the ongoing tension between Israel and Gaza, and raises concerns about the safety and well-being of the children and medical staff at the hospital.
The Al-Rantisi Children's Hospital serves a crucial role in the Gaza Strip, and its destruction or disruption would have a significant impact on the children and families who rely on it for essential medical care. As the situation continues to unfold, it is important to prioritize the safety and well-being of the patients and staff at the hospital, and to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
