The Government Media Office in Gaza warned of the repercussions of targeting hospitals, confirming that the bombing of the Nasser Medical Complex in the southern Gaza Strip is part of a series of attacks on the health sector. The office stated in a statement issued Thursday that the bombing resulted in the martyrdom of a number of health workers and patients, including Dr. Rizq Ahmad Abu Shu'ayra and a 13-year-old child, after Israeli warplanes targeted the surgery department in one of the complex's buildings. The office revealed that 793 attacks targeted healthcare facilities, vehicles, medical personnel, and supply chains, resulting in the martyrdom of 1,725 health workers. It stressed that targeting the Nasser Complex is not an isolated incident but an extension of previous attacks on the same complex, as well as the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and a number of hospitals and health centers, leading to a decline in the health system's ability to provide medical services. The office noted that the assaults were not limited to killing and destruction but also included the injury and arrest of hundreds of doctors and workers.
