(April 14, 2025) — Israel’s bombing of Gaza’s last functional hospitals has turned treatable conditions into death sentences. Patients in the enclave are dying of treatable wounds and illnesses due to Israeli attacks and its aid blockade.

One of the last working hospitals in Gaza was bombed on Sunday, meaning more Palestinians with routine health conditions might now face death.

Targeting health facilities is a war crime, yet it has continually occurred in the war on Gaza. So, what’s the impact of Israel’s attacks on patients and doctors?

Israeli forces killed at least 15 Palestinians in attacks on Gaza since dawn on Monday, medical sources tell Al Jazeera, with the latest strikes targeting tent shelters in the north and south of the enclave.
