Gaza Hospital Airstrike Kills Two, Underscoring Humanitarian Crisis

Israeli airstrike on Gaza hospital kills two, including journalist. An Israeli air attack on the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza on May 13, 2025, resulted in the deaths of at least two people, among them journalist Hassan Eslaih. The surgical unit of the hospital was directly targeted, causing injuries to numerous patients and staff. A member of the Civil Defence Team, Ahmed Siyyam, stated, "There's a large number of injured people who were already injured but now have more severe injuries." The attack left the surgical department in ruins, with beds unrecognizable and patients pulled from the rubble. Israel claimed, without providing evidence, that Hamas was using the hospital as a base. This incident adds to the growing number of journalist casualties in the ongoing conflict, with over 200 killed by Israeli forces since the war began. The devastation highlights the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.
