‘Gaza is on its knees,’ says UN aid chief after Gaza hospital strike
WASHINGTON (AA) – “Gaza is on its knees,” UN Under-Secretary-General Martin Griffiths said on Tuesday after a deadly airstrike on a hospital in Gaza.
“Just arrived to Cairo amid reports that a school and a hospital have come under attack in Gaza today,” Griffiths posted on X.
“Hundreds of people have been killed. Gaza is on its knees. The health, water and sanitation systems are collapsing. People are being stripped of their dignity,” he said.
More than 500 people have been killed in the Israeli airstrike at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital Tuesday night, Ashraf al-Qudra, spokesman of the Health Ministry in Gaza, told Anadolu.
Footage showed bodies scattered across the hospital grounds.
The airstrike came on day 11 of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, with a growing international chorus of non-governmental groups and world leaders saying the Israeli bombing campaign on the besieged enclave — including health care facilities, schools, homes and houses of worship — violates international law and constitutes a war crime.
