Israeli Airstrikes Kill 50 Near Gaza Hospital

Israeli airstrikes near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least 50 Palestinians, including five medical staff members, according to reports from hospital director Hussam Abu Safia. The hospital, one of the last operational healthcare facilities in the area, has been heavily targeted amid a large-scale Israeli military offensive that began in early October 2023, which has reportedly claimed over 45,000 Palestinian lives. Witnesses described chaotic scenes as Israeli forces ordered evacuations and intensified military operations around the hospital. In a related incident, an Israeli strike on a vehicle near Al-Awda Hospital killed five journalists, prompting condemnation from Iran's Foreign Ministry, labeling it a war crime. Additionally, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly, with accusations that the US pressured an organization to withdraw famine warnings, raising concerns about the ongoing crisis. The international community has begun scrutinizing Israel's actions, with calls for accountability amid allegations of war crimes.
