The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Sunday that hospitals in the Strip received 11dead and 111 wounded over the past 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The ministry stated in its statement that the death toll from the aggression since October 7, 2023, has risen to 5 dead and 116,156 wounded, amid deteriorating health and humanitarian conditions in hospitals and medical centers.
Since the Israeli army reneged on the ceasefire agreement on March 18, 2025, the death toll has reached 1,574, while the number of wounded has reached 4,115, amid escalating Israeli attacks on various areas of the Gaza Strip.
In this context, Palestinian factions and forces condemned the occupation's crime of bombing the Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City on Sunday, considering it a war crime and holding the US administration responsible.
Hamas considered the bombing of the hospital, the destruction of the reception and emergency room by Israeli aircraft, and the displacement of patients and wounded within the hospital a new war crime committed by the fascist occupation army, as part of its series of brutal crimes in the Gaza Strip.
For its part, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates stated, "The occupation's brutal bombing of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, its destruction and complete decommissioning, along with the displacement of patients and the wounded and their throwing them into the streets, would not have happened without the international community's complicity and failure to assume its responsibilities."
The ministry added in a statement, "Especially since the occupation has previously deliberately destroyed 34 hospitals in the Gaza Strip, putting them out of service, in conjunction with its ongoing policy of starving, depriving citizens of their basic needs and medicine."
The targeting of hospitals, health centers, and medical personnel is considered one of the most heinous forms of genocide, a blatant disregard for the international community and humanitarian principles and laws. It is part of a systematic Israeli policy to completely destroy all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip and transform it into a land unfit for human habitation, as a prelude to forcing citizens to emigrate by military force.
The ministry affirmed that the UN Security Council bears full responsibility for its failure to protect civilians, impose an immediate halt to the genocide, open crossings, allow sustained aid delivery, and begin implementing all forms of relief and reconstruction.
For its part, the Islamic Jihad Movement said that the heinous crime committed by the occupation army last night at dawn against the Baptist Hospital is a new escalation towards the pinnacle of criminality.
The Palestinian Resistance Committees considered the targeting of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza and the Abdullah Al-Dahyan School, which shelters thousands of displaced women and children, to be Israeli insistence and persistence in its war of genocide and disregard for all humanitarian laws and norms.
