Israeli snipers target Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza, causing injuries among the displaced
The Palestinian Red Crescent Ambulance announced on Friday that one person was killed and twenty-eight others were injured as a result of Israeli snipers shooting at Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza on Friday, hours after the bombing of the largest Al-Shifa Medical Complex in the Strip.
The Hamas government announced on Friday that at least 13 people were killed and dozens injured in a bombing of the Shifa complex, with Israel increasing pressure on medical centers that shelter tens of thousands of displaced people.
Dr. Muhammad Abu Salamiya, director of the Al-Shifa Hospital Complex, told AFP that Friday was the day “hospitals were targeted.”
He added while the sounds of bullets were heard outside the hospital, “The occupation targeted all hospitals. We say to the occupation and the whole world that we are still in the hospital with the patients, with thousands of displaced people, with the wounded, and with the medical staff.”
He added, “We will serve in this hospital and will not leave it. We will remain with the wounded and sick, even if we treat them by candlelight.”
He warned that “fuel will run out within hours,” stressing that “we will stay with them and will not leave this place no matter the cost, and we tell the world that hospitals are protected under international and humanitarian law in accordance with the Fourth Geneva Convention.”
