Israel Burns Displaced Palestinians Alive On Hospital Grounds
In a harrowing scene, an Israeli attack targeted displaced Palestinian families seeking shelter in tents near Al Aqsa Hospital in Gaza’s Deir al-Balah region, leading to a horrific tragedy. Civilians, already driven from their homes, faced unimaginable terror as their makeshift refuge turned into an inferno.
The attack, which occurred on the grounds of the last functioning medical facility in central Gaza, left little room for survivors. With scarce resources available to fight the flames, those present could do little to stop the fire from spreading. As the flames engulfed the tents, screams of panic and despair filled the air, with civilians struggling to escape the devastating heat.
Rescue teams rushed to the scene, but the lack of equipment and the dire conditions hindered their efforts. At least four Palestinians have been confirmed killed, with around 70 others sustaining injuries ranging from severe burns to suffocation. The death toll is feared to rise as many of the injured remain in critical condition, and the search for survivors continues amidst the debris.
Witnesses at the scene described the chaos and heartbreak, as families were torn apart by the flames. The Al Aqsa Hospital, already overwhelmed by a lack of medical supplies and electricity, struggled to treat the sudden influx of patients. Many survivors were left with severe burns, needing urgent care that is scarcely available due to the ongoing siege and blockade.
This is so f**** scary

The incident has sparked renewed calls for international intervention, with human rights organizations condemning the attack as a violation of international humanitarian law. They emphasize the urgent need to protect civilians, especially those seeking shelter in places of refuge like hospitals and schools, which should be considered safe zones.
The situation in Gaza has reached a critical point, with the continued loss of life and lack of safe places for civilians.
