Israeli Attacks on Gaza’s Beleaguered Hospitals Destroy Already Scarce Supplies

HeadlineMay 20, 2025

Israeli strikes on Gaza’s hospitals also continue. The World Health Organization on Monday condemned an attack on Nasser Hospital which destroyed one-third of a medical supplies warehouse. This is the hospital’s director, Dr. Atef Al-Hout.

Dr. Atef Al-Hout: “We now have nearly 30 patients in the intensive care unit, and I have seven patients who need intensive care in the emergency room that I can’t find space for. Until when will this silence continue? Until when will the Security Council stand idly by? Until when will the United Nations, the European Union and other institutions stand watching this situation?”
