Deadliest Gaza Day Since Israel's Election as Hospital Hit in Khan Younis
Ten people were killed in Gaza on Thursday in the deadliest day since Israel's late October election, with the last remaining hospital in Khan Younis severely damaged in an Israeli strike. The attack on Nasser Hospital killed six people and wounded 30, primarily hitting the surgical department. Hospital director Ahmed al-Farra told Reuters the strike was a "full-blown war crime," claiming no warning was given before two rockets hit the Al Yassin building. British surgeon Goher Rahbour, a volunteer, said a colleague killed in the blast had been operating with him hours earlier. Israel confirmed the strike, saying it targeted a Hamas militant and associates, a claim Hamas denies. The attack drew international condemnation, with a council created by Donald Trump urging implementation of his peace plan. Gaza faces its fourth winter in ruins, with 5,200 families living under open sky after flooding, according to Norwegian People's Aid. Fifty-three countries and organizations, led by Britain, Qatar, and Jordan, urged Israel to allow more humanitarian aid.
