Repeated Strikes on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital Part of Israel's Policy to Empty Gaza of Life, Says Director
Dr. Fadel Naeem, Director of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, has condemned the repeated targeting of the hospital by Israeli forces, saying it reflects a deliberate policy aimed at dismantling Gaza's healthcare infrastructure and forcibly displacing its population.
Speaking to Egypt Media, Dr. Naeem confirmed that the hospital was hit again in recent hours, in what he described as the latest incident in a series of attacks. 'This is not the first time,' he said. 'The hospital was previously subjected to a horrific strike on October 17, 2023, and has since suffered three more attacks. The occupation does not differentiate between hospitals, streets, or markets. Everything in Gaza has become a target.'
In the same connection, Dr. Naeem emphasized that the broader objective of these attacks appears to be making Gaza uninhabitable. With several major hospitals, including Kamal Adwan and Al-Awda, now out of service, Al-Ahli Baptist is under immense pressure, he said. 'There are currently only two main centers providing medical care in the north — Al-Shifa Center and the Red Crescent Emergency Unit.'
The latest attack also claimed the lives of four journalists, in addition to civilians, hospital staff, and paramedics. Dr. Naeem denounced the targeting of journalists as a means to suppress the truth and conceal the scale of civilian suffering. 'This is about silencing the witnesses to what is happening in Gaza,' he said.
Beyond the loss of life, the psychological toll on medical staff has been severe. 'When our colleagues are injured or killed inside the hospital, working becomes far more difficult than dealing with mass casualties from outside,' Naeem noted.
Despite the escalating dangers, he reaffirmed the commitment of Gaza's medical teams to continue their mission. 'We took an oath to save lives,' he said. 'And we will carry on — no matter what the cost.'

27 Western countries issue joint call for unimpeded aid access to Gaza
Twenty-seven Western countries and entities, including Britain, France, and the European Union, on Monday issued a joint statement condemning the humanitarian situation in Gaza and demanding that Israel allow all international NGO aid shipments into the besieged enclave. The statement, signed by the foreign ministers of countries including Australia, Canada, Japan, and Spain, also stressed the need for a ceasefire, an end to the war, and the release of all hostages. 'The humanitarian suffering in Gaza has reached incredible levels. Famine is unfolding before our eyes,' the statement, published by the British government, read. 'Urgent action must be taken now to halt and reverse the famine. The humanitarian space must be protected, and aid must not be politicised.' The ministers called on Israel to grant permits for all international NGO aid shipments and lift barriers to their operations, warning that restrictive new registration conditions could soon force essential international NGOs to leave the Occupied Palestinian Territories, further worsening the humanitarian situation. 'Lethal force must not be used at aid distribution sites, and civilians, humanitarian workers, and medical personnel must be protected,' the statement added, calling for immediate steps to facilitate safe and widespread access for the U.N. and other partners. It urged the use of all crossings and routes to allow aid, including food, fuel, clean water, and medical supplies, to flow into Gaza. The signatories also expressed their gratitude for the efforts of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt in pushing for a ceasefire and seeking peace. The joint statement comes amid growing international pressure on Israel. U.N. humanitarian organisations have demanded 'urgent action' after medical sources in Gaza announced that more than 100 children have died from malnutrition since the war began in October 2023. The total number of victims of famine and malnutrition in the strip has risen to 227, including 103 children, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, citing medical sources. Last week, foreign ministers from nine Western countries and the EU expressed their opposition to the Israeli government's plan to expand military operations in Gaza, stating that the decision would exacerbate the 'catastrophic humanitarian situation, threaten the lives of hostages, and increase the risk of mass displacement of civilians.'
